Analog behavior is difficult to compress into simple pass/fail decisions that could reduce redundant coverage.

Assertions are a powerful tool for design verification, but you need to be able to evaluate their effectiveness. Assertion-based coverage metrics provide an answer. During the decade of the 1980s, it ...

A newly drafted IEEE standard will bring more consistency to defect metrics in analog/mixed (AMS) designs, a long-overdue step that has become too difficult to ignore in the costly heterogeneous ...

PARTNER CONTENT: Given the size and complexity of modern semiconductor designs, functional verification has become a dominant phase in the development cycle. Coverage lies at the very heart of this ...

Your dashboard is green. The suite has passed, coverage looks healthy and leadership assumes the release is safe. But a passing test suite may be misleading. Even with a green dashboard, it's unclear ...

When asked, many engineers will say that the goal of a test plan for a PCB is full or 100% test coverage. When pressed further, they usually admit that 100% test coverage is virtually impossible to ...

When developers and engineers measure code coverage in embedded systems they can improve their device’s safety and performance. Embedded systems play a foundational ...
