Functional Verification Coverage Measurement and Analysis addresses a means of quantitatively assessing functional verification progress. Without this process, design and verification engineers, and their management, are left guessing whether or not they have completed verifying the device they are designing. Using the techniques described in this book, they will learn how to build a toolset which allows them to know how close they are to functional closure. Functional Verification Coverage Measurement and Analysis is the first book to introduce a useful taxonomy for coverage metric classification. Using this taxonomy, the reader clearly understands the process of creating an effective coverage model. A must read! Harry Foster, Jasper Design Automation, Co-Author of Assertion-Based Design Andrew's book is the most thoughtful and comprehensive treatment of coverage I have seen. I recommend reading (and re-reading) this book to anybody who is really serious about functional verification. Yoav Hollander, CTO, Verisity Design In the last few years, coverage has become a must in hardware verification and in software testing. From having to push people to use coverage, the situation changed to great interest... Andrew's excellent and comprehensive book on coverage, the first of its kind, could not have come at a better time. Shmuel Ur, Research Scientist, IBM
Comprehensive Functional Verification

One of the biggest challenges in chip and system design is determining whether the hardware works correctly. That is the job of functional verification engineers and they are the audience for this comprehensive text from three top industry professionals.As designs increase in complexity, so has the value of verification engineers within the hardware design team. In fact, the need for skilled verification engineers has grown dramatically--functional verification now consumes between 40 and 70% of a project's labor, and about half its cost. Currently there are very few books on verification for engineers, and none that cover the subject as comprehensively as this text. A key strength of this book is that it describes the entire verification cycle and details each stage. The organization of the book follows the cycle, demonstrating how functional verification engages all aspects of the overall design effort and how individual cycle stages relate to the larger design process. Throughout the text, the authors leverage their 35 plus years experience in functional verification, providing examples and case studies, and focusing on the skills, methods, and tools needed to complete each verification task. - Comprehensive overview of the complete verification cycle - Combines industry experience with a strong emphasis on functional verification fundamentals - Includes real-world case studies
Hardware and Software: Verification and Testing

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the Third International Haifa Verification Conference, HVC 2007, held in Haifa, Israel, in October 2007. The 15 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions. The papers are organized in topical tracks on hardware verification, model checking, dynamic hardware verification, merging formal and testing, formal verification for software and software testing
