“…Decreasing the coupling has been reported to have the result of increasing maintainability and reusability [Li and Henry 1993;Munnelly et al 2007]. The two complexity metrics, N OC and DIT , relate to inheritance.…”

Developing testbenches for dynamic functional verification of hardware designs is a software intensive process that lies on the critical path of electronic system design. The increasing capabilities of electronic components is contributing to the construction of complex verification environments that are increasingly difficult to understand, maintain, extend and reuse across projects. Modeldriven software engineering addresses issues of complexity, productivity and code quality through the use of high-level system models and subsequent automatic transformations. Reasoning about verification testbench decomposition becomes simpler at higher levels of abstraction. In particular, the aspect-oriented paradigm, when applied at the model level can minimize the overlap in functionality between modules, improving maintainability and reusability. This paper presents an aspect-oriented model-driven engineering process and toolset for the development of hardware verification testbenches. We illustrate how this process and toolset supports modularized design and automatic transformation to verification environment-specific models and source code through an industry case study.

“…It is also known that modularity is directly related to software architecture, since modularity is separation of a software system in independent and collaborative modules that can be organized in a software architecture [25]. Modular software has several advantages such as maintainability, manageability, and comprehensibility [24], as well as ensuring the legitimate peripheral participation of new members [16].…”

“…We compared the AspectJ implementation with a corresponding standard objectoriented approach in Java, and an approach using the Context Toolkit [9]. Results indicated that the aspectoriented approach fared well when measured against comprehensibility, maintainability and manageability metrics [6].…”

“…First, these factors are likely to have an impact across the application as a whole (in other words, they are crosscutting). We have previously illustrated that the crosscutting nature of adaptation means that it cannot be effectively modularised by conventional programming formalisms [6]. In effect, developers are forced to design and implement such concerns repetitively throughout the application.…”
