Advanced verification solution

The electronics design and verification process is filled with uncertainty. In addition to shrinking geometries, complex design techniques, and tight project schedules, risks such as schedule predictability, system-level quality concerns, and barriers to efficient resource allocation can overwhelm conventional verification approaches.

To boost productivity and prevent these risks from spiraling out of control, companies need specialized approaches to verification. These approaches must combine much higher levels of abstraction, more powerful engines, and increased process automation with trusted verification IP.

The advanced verification solution from Cadence reduces verification risk and injects much needed predictability into project schedules. It unites industry best practices with verification process automation and management across block, chip, and system levels. These solution components integrate verification efforts across the enterprise, so companies can focus their efforts on differentiating their designs.

The advanced verification solution from Cadence includes:

Verification planning and management — the Cadence® Incisive® Plan-to-Closure Methodology provides a plan- and metric-driven approach to verification closure
Assertion-based verification — helps users define assertions correctly, enables early detection of bugs close to the source, enables formal analysis techniques, and monitors for completeness through assertion coverage
Testbench automation and reuse — advanced multi-language testbench technology supports testbench reuse, plan-driven verification, and high-performance simulations throughout the verification flow at all levels
Enterprise system-level (ESL) verification — combines automated hardware, embedded software, and system-level verification with system-wide management and new high-performance engines to ensure predictable software, hardware, and system quality


The integration of these components forms the foundation for an advanced verification solution that delivers the quality, productivity, and predictability required to eliminate risk in even the most complex projects.
