Course Overview

This intensive, practical course is intended for Verification Engineers interested in the latest verification enhancements to SystemVerilog. While many engineers may have extensive verification experience this course will introduce best-practice usage of SystemVerilog features like Object Oriented programming, Constrained Randomization and Functional Coverage.

Detailed lab exercises help reinforce what is discussed during the lectures and provide you with extensive tool usage experience under the guidance of our industry expert instructors.

You will learn how to

  • Approach functional verification using the latest SV extensions
  • Structure an object-oriented, configurable and reusable verification environment
  • Generate and apply constrained random stimulus
  • Implement functional coverage of the verification environment
  • Apply SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) to assist verification
  • Create a reactive verification system which observes & tracks design response to automatically modify test activity

Hands-On Labs

Throughout this course, extensive hands-on lab exercises provide you with practical experience using QuestaSim simulator. Hands-on lab topics include:

  • Transaction based verification
  • Constrained Random stimulus with reactive feedback
  • Functional coverage
  • Assertions
