Mentor Graphics Verification Academy Launches Coverage Cookbook

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced extensive
enhancements to the Verification Academy, including the addition of
the much anticipated Coverage Cookbook. The Mentor® Verification
Academy is the most comprehensive resource for verification
engineers, and provides access to information and online training
on advanced functional verification technologies.
NEW - The Coverage Cookbook - A methodology focused on
effective coverage adoption
In functional verification, methodology is the bridge between
tools and technologies, which creates a productive, predictable,
and repeatable solution. This first phase of the Coverage Cookbook
introduces a methodology focused on coverage that complements the
Universal Verification Methodology (UVM), an industry standard
verification methodology that has gained a significant following
over the last several years. The Coverage Cookbook is a series of
online linked articles designed to help you master the methodology
and process required to effectively adopt a coverage-driven
verification flow by providing:
- a foundation of understanding on the
various types of coverage metrics available today, and how to
effectively use them
- a repeatable process for creating
functional coverage models distilled from a specification
- real-world examples used to demonstrate
the functional coverage modeling process
“Our focus with the Verification Academy has been on building
advanced skills and easy to adopt methodologies so that our
customers can get the most out of today’s advanced functional
verification techniques,” said Harry Foster, chief scientist for
the Design Verification Technology division at Mentor. “Our UVM
Cookbook is the most comprehensive resource available today, which
provides the methodology necessary for effective constrained-random
testbench adoption. We are now excited to announce a new cookbook
we call the Coverage Cookbook, which introduces a systematic
methodology for developing functional coverage models and
coverage-driven processes.”
Verification Academy Enhancements
The Verification Academy, which currently serves over 13,000
members, was created to improve the learning experience and expand
the understanding of advanced functional verification techniques by
providing video training modules, interactive forums and
methodology cookbooks and resources. To facilitate this process,
the Verification Academy is continually improving its website to
meet the growing verification needs of the user community.
Recently, the website was completely redesigned to enhance its
members’ accessibility to instructional content. In addition, the
delivery performance of course video content was improved while
using the latest video elements of HTML5 no longer requiring the
use of Flash.
“I’m delighted to see the refined website as I feel it is very
useful for verification engineers in terms of their day-to-day
activities. I find myself visiting the website on a daily basis,
reading forums and watching the videos,” said RaviVarma Kanumuri,
verification engineer, L&T Infotech. “Overall, I’m very
satisfied with the new changes, and look forward to seeing more
updates on the latest verification do’s and don’ts for better
verification.”
“Verification Academy is the best web site for learning UVM,”
said Allen Shen, senior principal engineer – SoC Verification,
Western Digital. “I’ve attended other training sessions on UVM, but
they don't compare to this web site.”
About the Verification Academy
The Mentor Graphics® Verification Academy is a first of its kind
— unlike anything in the industry. Its goals are to provide the
skills necessary to mature an organization’s advanced functional
verification process capabilities. To this end, the Verification
Academy provides a methodological bridge between high-level value
propositions (related to advanced verification technology) and the
low-level details (related to specific tool and verification
language details). Visit http://verificationacademy.com/ to access
the many training modules, cookbooks, forums and events and
resources.
