Mitigating verification risk by understanding your coverage

The effective testing of an IC during the verification process prior to fabrication remains a perennial issue for electronics design engineers, made worse by the inability to accurately measure the verification progress. There are various verification coverage techniques, all with drawbacks, leading to incomplete verification, poor test quality and duplicated verification effort on well-tested parts of the design.
