Functional Verification Coverage Measurement and Analysis

Functional Verification Coverage Measurement and Analysis addresses the subject of coverage measurement and analysis, a means of quantitatively assessing functional verification progress. In the absence of this process, design 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, when applied to the verification of their device, allows them to know how close they are to functional closure. Functional Verification Coverage Measurement and Analysis will be of interest to both professionals and academics as it instructs verification engineers and designers on how to measure verification progress and opens a number of areas of research for academia.
