Testbench architecture: Validation
Testbench architecture validation is process to check if it meeting the verification requirements. Additionally check for inconsistencies and complexity. In some cases complexity may be necessity…
Testbench architecture: Mapping to implementation
Divide the functionality to various blocks or layers. Map the blocks to classes. Designate the classes as data classes and processing classes. Clearly define the…
Testbench architecture: Selection among alternatives
Architecture involves making choices. Knowledge of the key requirements is essential to make the right choices. To get the architecture right all the prerequisites specified…
Testbench architecture – Functional division
One of the key to getting the functional division and reusability right in the testbench architecture is to think of it as product to be sold…
Testbench architecture – Application world abstraction
Application is the reason for existence of the DUT. Application is combination of the software and hardware. Hardware may be design under test combined with…
Testbench architecture – Layered view
Layered view of test bench is grouping of the related functionality components into five layers. In the following article let’s look at what these…
Tasks management tools
We have seen that project execution is a very dynamic activity. Any planning tools that are static in nature will fail to meet the dynamic…
Planning – Milestones
After detailed task lists are in place, it’s time to schedule them for the execution by assigning the real time lines and engineers. First step…
