12 Questions
What is the purpose of a grey-box test case?
To increase coverage metrics
Why is full verification not practical on large pieces of designs?
Because it entails driving all permutations on the input lines
How does a grey-box test case differ from a black-box test case?
It is written to increase coverage metrics
What is the reconvergence model for testing focused on?
Verifying that the design was manufactured properly
What is the main purpose of functional verification?
To ensure that a design implements intended functionality
What is the primary focus of formal verification?
Proving or disproving the correctness of intended algorithms using formal methods
Why is it impossible to prove that a design meets the intent of its specification?
Due to varying degrees of ability in communicating intentions with natural languages
What does functional verification attempt to answer?
Whether the proposed design does what is intended
What is the main limitation of the black-box approach to functional verification?
Inability to access the internal state of the design
Which type of design can be verified using a black-box approach?
Designs with well-documented functions
What is a key challenge of using the black-box approach for functional verification?
Locating the source of the problem in the design
What is the primary purpose of a black-box approach to functional verification?
To perform verification without knowledge of the actual implementation
Test your knowledge of functional verification, which ensures that a design implements intended functionality and reconciles with its specification. Explore the importance of functional verification in transforming a specification document into RTL code.
