Types of Testing
This document provides an overview of different types of software testing and when testing should begin and end. It describes various types of testing including functional, system, end-to-end, sanity, regression, acceptance, load, install/uninstall, recovery, compatibility, exploratory, performance, usability, security, alpha and beta testing. It notes that testing is best started early in the development process and continues through deployment, and that there are no set criteria for when to stop testing, as testing is an ongoing process, but management decisions and bug rates can help determine when to end a testing cycle.
Testing
Functional testing generates test inputs based on a program's specifications. Testers derive clues from specifications, which inform test requirements and test specifications. Equivalence partitioning divides the input domain into equivalence classes, with the goal of selecting one test per class to cover all classes. Boundary value analysis focuses on boundary values as important test cases. Together, partitioning and boundary analysis aim to thoroughly test a program.
Software testing by risk management
This document outlines a risk-based software testing methodology. It discusses testing approaches like regression, sanity, performance, functionality, and end-to-end testing. The methodology involves requirements analysis, test planning and design based on risk, and test reporting. Testing is done at the interface, component, requirement, and integration levels using the defined approaches. Test plans include scope, schedule, and results. Challenges are addressed and changes made to the test approach as needed. Open issues are also tracked.

Software engineering
The document discusses validation processes for critical systems, including reliability validation, safety assurance, security assessment, and developing safety and dependability cases. Validation of critical systems involves additional processes compared to non-critical systems, such as formal validation to demonstrate that requirements are met to regulators' satisfaction. Reliability validation assesses whether a system meets required reliability levels through representative testing, while safety assurance establishes confidence in a system's safety through processes, validation techniques, and reviews. Security assessment and safety assurance both aim to demonstrate that systems cannot enter unsafe or insecure states. Safety and dependability cases make detailed arguments through evidence that systems achieve required safety levels.
Availability tactics
Fault recovery tactics in software systems include:
- Voting with redundant components to detect and correct faults. Diversity uses different software/hardware to detect algorithm faults.
- Active redundancy keeps redundant components synchronized in real-time, allowing recovery in milliseconds by switching to backups.
- Passive redundancy uses a primary component with backup components that are periodically resynchronized, allowing recovery in seconds.
- Using spare components requires reconfiguring software and state on the spare, increasing recovery time to minutes.
- Other tactics for recovering failed components include running them in shadow mode, resynchronizing their state, and rolling back to checkpoints.
formal verification
Formal verification refers to mathematical techniques for specifying, designing, and verifying software and hardware systems. It involves proving or disproving the correctness of algorithms in a system with respect to a formal specification or property using formal methods of mathematics. Formal verification techniques include manual proofs, semi-automatic theorem proving, and automatic algorithms that take a model and property to determine if the model satisfies the property. Formal verification is commonly used for safety-critical systems like embedded systems to help ensure correctness. Tools like VC formal, VC LP, and Spyglass can be used to formally verify designs early in development without complex test benches or stimulus.

Yang greenstein part_2
The document discusses how shaders are created and validated for graphics processing units (GPUs). Shaders are created by applications and sent to the GPU through graphics APIs and drivers. They are then executed by the GPU's shader processors. The validation process uses layered testbenches at the sub-block, block, and system levels for maximum controllability and observability. It also employs a reference model methodology using C++ models and hardware emulation to debug designs faster than simulation alone. This methodology helps improve the schedule and find bugs earlier in the development cycle.
Yang greenstein part_1
The document is a presentation on verification of graphics ASICs given by Shaw Yang and Gary Greenstein of AMD. The presentation covers an overview of AMD, GPU systems, 3D graphics basics including vertices, polygons, pixels and textures, verification challenges related to size and complexity, and approaches used including layered code and testbenches, hardware emulation, and functional coverage.
Williamson arm validation metrics
The document discusses the importance of using verification metrics to predict the functional closure of a CPU design project and discusses challenges in relying solely on metrics. It outlines two key types of metrics - verification test plan based metrics that track testing progress and health of the design metrics that assess bug rates and stability. Examples are provided on using bug rate data and breaking bugs down by design unit to help evaluate the progress and health of a verification effort.
Whipp q3 2008_sv
The document discusses efficient verification methodology. It recommends defining a conceptual framework or methodology to standardize some aspects while allowing diversity. The methodology should define interfaces and transactions upfront using an interface definition language to generate verification components and reusable assertions. It also recommends modeling systems at the transaction level using executable specifications to frontload the verification schedule.
Vishakantaiah validating
The document discusses the challenges of validating next generation CPUs. It notes that validation is increasingly critical for product success but requires constant innovation. Design complexity is growing exponentially, requiring up to 70% of resources for functional validation. The number of pre-silicon logic bugs found per generation has also increased significantly. Shorter timelines and cross-site development further complicate the validation process.
Validation and-design-in-a-small-team-environment
The document discusses validation and design in small teams with limited resources. It proposes constraining designs to a single clock rate, using FIFO interfaces between blocks, and separating algorithm from IO verification to simplify validation. This approach allows designs to be completed more quickly with fewer verification engineers through standardized, repeatable validation methods at the cost of optimal performance.
Tobin verification isglobal
Verification challenges have increased with the globalization of chip design. Time zone differences and documentation issues can reduce efficiency, but greater collaboration across sites can also lead to new ideas. AMD addresses these challenges through a Verification Center of Expertise (COE) that coordinates methodologies across multiple sites. The COE develops tools and techniques while partnering with project teams to jointly improve processes over time through continuous review and rotation of engineers between the COE and projects.
Tierney bq207
Greg Tierney of Avid presented on their experiences using SystemC for design verification. SystemC provides hardware constructs and simulation capabilities in C++. Avid chose SystemC to enhance their existing C++ verification code and take advantage of its industry acceptance and built-in verification features. SystemC helped Avid solve issues like crossing language boundaries between HDL modules and testbenches, connecting ports and channels, implementing randomization, using multi-threaded processes, and defining module hierarchies. However, Avid also encountered issues with SystemC like slow compile/link times and limitations in its foreign language interface.
The validation attitude
Bob Colwell documented notes from a meeting discussing the need for better software visualization tools to help localize bugs, diagnose problems, and monitor software behavior. The notes also reflect on important words in science according to Isaac Newton and reference a book about creative analogies. Finally, they caution against agreeing to sign a document just because a product is shipping.
Thaker q3 2008
The document outlines the verification strategy for a PCI-Express presenter device. It discusses the PCI-Express protocol overview including terminology, hierarchy and functions at various layers. It emphasizes the importance of design-for-verification using techniques like modular architectures, standardized interfaces and reference models to aid in functional verification closure and compliance testing. Performance verification is also highlighted as critical given the real-time requirements of the standard.
Thaker q3 2008
The document discusses verification strategies for PCI-Express. It outlines the PCI-Express protocol and highlights challenges in verifying chips that implement open standards. The verification paradigm focuses on functionality, performance, interoperability, reusability, scalability, and comprehensiveness using techniques like constrained-random testing, assertions, reference models, emulation, and compliance checkers. The goal is to deliver compliant and high-performing chips with zero bugs through an effective verification methodology.
Strickland dvclub
The document discusses methodologies for improving verification efficiency at Cisco. It advocates separating testbench creation into three stages: component design, testbench integration, and testcase creation. It also recommends using standardized methodologies like testflow to synchronize component behavior, reusing unit-level component models and checkers, linking transactions between checkers, and generating common testbench infrastructure from templates to reduce duplication of effort. The key is pushing reusable behavior into components and standardizing common elements to maximize efficiency.
Stinson post si and verification
This document discusses the importance of pre-silicon verification for post-silicon validation. It notes that post-silicon validation schedules are growing due to increasing design complexity, while pre-silicon verification investment and methodologies have not kept pace. The document highlights mixed-signal verification, power-on/reset verification, and design-for-testability verification as key focus areas needed to improve pre-silicon verification and enable faster post-silicon validation. It provides examples of mixed-signal and power-on bugs that were found post-silicon due to insufficient pre-silicon verification of these areas. The document argues that pre-silicon verification must move beyond just functional verification and own mixed-signal effects
Shultz dallas q108
This document discusses challenges in low-power design and verification. It addresses why low-power is now a priority given trends in mobile applications. Key challenges include increased leakage due to process scaling, accounting for active leakage, and handling process variations. The document also discusses low-power design methodologies, including multiple power domains, voltage scaling, and clock gating. Verification challenges are presented, such as needing good test patterns and coordination across design domains. Overall power analysis is more complex than timing analysis due to its pattern dependence and need to optimize for performance per watt.
Shreeve dv club_ams
Verilog-AMS allows for mixed-signal modeling and simulation in a single language. It provides benefits like simplified mixed-signal modeling, decreased simulation time, and improved mixed-signal verification. Previous solutions involved using two simulators or approximating analog circuits, which caused issues like slow simulation and lack of analog results. Verilog-AMS uses constructs from Verilog and Verilog-A to model both analog and digital content together. This avoids issues with interface elements between domains.
Sharam salamian
This document discusses the verification of Intel's Atom processor. It describes the key verification challenges, methodology used, and results. The main challenges were verifying a new microarchitecture with aggressive schedules and limited resources. The methodology involved cluster-level validation, functional coverage, architectural validation, and formal verification. Metrics like coverage, bug rates, and a "health of model" indicator were used. The results showed a successful pre-silicon verification with few escapes and debug/survivability features working as intended. Key learnings included the importance of keeping the full-chip design healthy early and putting equal focus on testability features.
Schulz sv q2_2009
The document discusses verification strategies based on Sun Tzu's classic book "The Art of War". Some key points:
1. Sun Tzu emphasized understanding the objective conditions and subjective opinions of competitors to determine strategic positioning. This relates to verification where it is important to understand the design and "Murphy the Designer".
2. Sun Tzu's 13 chapters provide guidance on tactics like laying plans, attacking weaknesses, maneuvering, and using intelligence sources. These lessons can help verification engineers successfully navigate different stages of a competitive campaign against bugs and errors.
3. Effective verification requires knowing the design, understanding one's own verification process, preparing appropriate tools, and using feedback to improve. Coverage metrics alone do
Schulz dallas q1_2008
Here are the key challenges faced in low power design without a common power format:
1. Domain definitions, level shifters, isolation cells, and other low power techniques are specified differently in each tool using tool-specific commands files and languages. This makes cross-tool consistency and validation difficult.
2. Power functionality cannot be easily verified at the RTL level without changing the RTL code, since power domains and low power techniques are not represented. This limits verification coverage.
3. Iteration between design creation and verification is difficult, since changes to the low power implementation require updates to multiple tool-specific specification files rather than a single cross-tool definition. This impacts design schedule and risks inconsistencies.
