Tornado Alert!!!
Is my car trying to tell me something?
This past Friday was the beginning of a two day internal functional verification meeting at Mentor Graphics corporate headquarters on Intelligent Testbench Automation (iTBA). (Mentor’s iTBA product, Questa inFact is hot and getting hotter.) After getting to my car to return home at the end of the first day, I was thinking that the large interest in this technology … Read More

Who Doesn’t Like Faster?
In my last blog post I introduced new technology called Intelligent Testbench Automation (“iTBA”). It’s generating lots of interest in the industry because just like constrained random testing (“CRT”), it can generate tons of tests for functional verification. But it has unique efficiencies that allow you to achieve coverage 10X to 100X … 
Hi, I’m Mike Andrews, and I’m a Technical Marketing Engineer (TME) at Mentor Graphics, working on our Intelligent Testbench Automation (iTBA) product, namely inFact. The inFact tool employs rule-based (sometimes called graph-based) techniques to generate stimulus during testbench simulation, as a more efficient alternative to constrained random.
During a recent conversation about the complexity of …
