TB Simplification

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Hello All, In the process of verification, we develop many TestBenches those are useful for the module-level verification only. Once the module is verified, a new TB is developed for another module. Is there any alternative way to this approach, wherein we can reduce the time spent on the development of TB for each and every module? Is there any reusable approach for this? Any ideas or suggestions are welcome. -Vivek

    I have not used AVM myself, but I believe it shares many principles with URM, so the merge of these two is a natural one.
    I think perhaps that OVM will bring a lot of great automation to the very solid base laid down by the two methodology libraries.

    Of course there is a lot more to good re-use than simply using a library such as URM, and the full Cadence Plan to Closure Methodology addresses the higher level concerns such as how to make integrate the different technologies (formal, coverage-driven, emulation etc), and how to use executable plans to automate so much of the day-to-day reporting and analysis that we (alas) have to do.
