Description

Assertions are embedded pieces of code that act like observers. They can be inserted anywhere in the design code. When used in a verification environment, assertions help to identify design bugs earlier and more easily. This method is a highly efficient way to improve work productivity. Through assertions, we can capture specific design behaviors and gain detailed knowledge of how the design should operate. Assertions are crucial for increasing the observability and controllability of a design. Assertions are a language for describing design behavior. Their syntax is fundamental, requiring systematic learning to use assertion-based verification techniques effectively. Assertion-based verification provides an effective way to improve verification quality by offering better controllability and observability of design bugs. Using assertions ensures that interface designs are executed correctly. They help discover deep design bugs, identify hard-to-find corner cases. We can also analyze and improve test cases in simulation through coverage environments with assertions. Our course mainly focuses on the basic syntax of Property Specification Language (PSL). PSL is a language under ...
