Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the method provided in the above-mentioned prior art has the following defects: First, the verification work cannot be carried out before the specification of the application scenario is completed, resulting in insufficient mobilization of the human resources of the verification personnel
Secondly, verifiers need to collect and understand scenario information and manually write verification incentives based on the scenario information, resulting in a long verification cycle and a large manual workload
At the same time, when the verifier understands the application scenario specification, due to the complexity of the application scenario information, it is easy to cause the written verification incentives to deviate from the software application scenario
In summary, the chip circuit function verification method provided by the existing technology is difficult to realize the verification of large-scale application scenarios
