Verification operation supporting system and method of the same

Abstract

A verification operation supporting system which can automatically execute complicated verification operation is provided. This system is provided with an input device for an administrator for inputting test case common information common to all test cases and test case difference information different for every test case, a text editor for generating a template file containing basic information and, an input device for a verification person for inputting verification person individual information and test condition individual information, a parameter file automatic generating program for generating test case information file which describes the verification operation of each test case by adding individual information and to the basic information and in the template file, and a verification operation executing program for executing the verification operation in accordance with the test case information file while running a TOS and an HDL simulator.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a verification operation support system, and more particularly, to a verification operation support system for supporting a verification operation of verifying one or more design data through one or more test cases using a simulator. Background technique [0002] SOC (System on Chip) is a semiconductor integrated circuit in which not only a core processor but also high-efficiency peripheral devices such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) host controller or a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus controller are integrated on a chip. During the development of the SOC, design data is verified against logic simulations. The verification operation of the SOC is performed by repeating a cycle for each test instance, a cycle including (1) organizing the test environment, (2) generating the test code, and (3) performing the simulation. [0003] (1) Each verifier (person responsible for verification) who manually organizes ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] (2) In the case of system logic verification of SOC, that is, the logic verification of the entire SOC chip, it is quite complicated to generate test codes

Despite the growing complexity of the simulations themselves, however, no system has been provided to automate this largely complex manual work
