Verification metrics - how you know when you're done
Leonard Drucker · Electronic Systems and Software · 2003
Functional coverage is a good way of determining verification completeness. Two issues that limit the adoption of functional coverage methodology are execution of the desired functionality and collection of the functional coverage data to determine the metric. Advances in directed randomisation. technologies will help address the issue of test creation. To address the collection, analysis and determination of the metric, tools have been developed to capture and analyse transaction-based information. These advancements will simplify the implementation of functional coverage metrics, allowing for greater adoption of this methodology.
