Reuse of design IP has taken center stage in the effort to enable today’s SoC design. One of the most critical of these challenges is the functional verification of design IP and its integration into a SoC.
STMicroelectronics and Certess formed a partnership to identify issues in the verification of design IP that resulted in the advent of Certitude, an innovative verification solution using mutation-based analysis. Certitude delivers greater visibility into functions of the design IPs which are not sufficiently verified. Certitude also highlights areas of the design for which checking is insufficient as well as features for which tests do not exist. It also provides an overall measure of verification completeness. This tutorial will focus on how designers can improve their existing verification strategies, providing experience in setting up Certitude for an existing verification environment and analyzing specific verification weaknesses.
