Metric Driven Design Verification: An Engineer's and Executive's Guide to First Pass Success

Exponentially increasing design complexity has necessitated the adoption of metric driven planning and project management. Metric Driven Design Verification provides the semiconductor industry’s first metric driven based approach to functional verification. A metric based flow is described that focuses on the four steps of:

1. Planning: Defining what needs to be done and the automatically trackable metrics that will be used to measure progress.

2. Execution: Implementing verification env...
