Assertions and assertion IP (AIP) are a core part of the register transfer level (RTL) verification environment for all modern chip development projects. Assertions can be considered as statements of ...

When unit tests fail, they should clearly explain why. Take advantage of the Fluent Assertions library to write unit test methods that are simple, readable, concise, and expressive. Unit testing is an ...

For years the process of ASIC and FPGA design and verification debug consisted primarily of comprehending the structure and source code of the design with waveforms showing activity over time, based ...

Recent assertion-standardization achievements hold the promise of improving verification efficiency and allowing formal verification to work with simulation. There are tools that support assertion ...

As ASICs continue to grow in size and complexity, traditional verification techniques relying on procedural testbench languages are no longer sufficient. Stimulus generation needs to be further ...
