Introduction
Considerable effort is being exerted to improve the quality and success of system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Given the demand for more and more features, lower power requirements, and need for blazing speeds to handle increasing data for video and other hungry applications, it is no surprise that complex SoCs are becoming harder to verify. A comprehensive test and verification strategy is vital; otherwise first silicon success is unlikely and precious financial resources are wasted.
