Code coverage plays an important role in verification. It is essential to meet the target numbers for the code coverage metrics at the end of functional verification. The verification of a ...

This paper presents functional coverage analysis automation and an approach to scale down overall simulation time. It is well known that functional verification of configurable IP cores is a real ...

To be digitally agile, enterprises must more quickly and frequently update their core mainframe systems—while also shifting stewardship of those applications from retiring COBOL veterans to IT staff ...

System-on-a-chip (SoC) functional verification involves integrating multiple intellectual property (IP) blocks. Accordingly, understanding how to define, measure, correlate, and analyze appropriate IP ...

Coverage-driven verification enables the structured, measurable and manageable verification of today’s extraordinarily large and complex SoCs. Establishing predetermined objectives and planning for ...

This example shows how to generate coverage for unit and integration tests using Maven and Sonar. It uses very simple techniques and should only take 10-15 minutes to get running in any existing Maven ...

Today's coverage technology exists today to create scenario models; automatically generate coverage goals; automatically generate test cases to hit those goals; and combine system-level metrics with ...
