This work proposes a refactoring for VeriSc testbenches in order to reduce the efforts that are required during the integration phase. This refactoring improves the reuse of testbench components that were developed during the verification of stand-alone blocks and preserves the other desirable features of VeriSC, such as tool support for the testbench construction, reuse of testbench components during the decomposition phase, synthesis of new coverage criteria during the composition phase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
