  • Method and system for efficiently generating parameterized bus transactions
    Patent number: 6970816
    Abstract: A method and system for efficiently generating parameterized bus transactions for verification of a design-under-test (DUT) comprises providing a configuration file for the DUT to a generator program. The configuration file defines possible parameter combinations for bus transactions executable by the DUT, and the generator program systematically enumerates all the possible combinations to produce a test case for verifying the DUT. Rules specified within the configuration file can include or exclude selected parameter combinations to tailor the test case to a specific DUT-to-bus interface.
