SystemVerilog Assertions - India
Assertion based verification methodology has recently become a mainstream advanced verification methodology because of its myriad advantages. Assertions help capture the designer’s intent unambiguously and concisely thereby helping the designers to communicate the assumptions and specification in an executable format. Assertions also help Verification engineers to describe higher level protocol specifications in highly concise format and are highly reusable across designs, projects etc. SystemVerilog provides rich set of constructs for building assertions. It also enables creation of pre-defined checker libraries. Another benefit of assertions is that they can be used with dynamic and formal technologies.
