As mentioned in the previous post, having a set of metrics and tools to measure the quality of a given verification environment is really critical. The metric should not only measure the quality of the tests but also the capability to capture any abnormal behavior. Before sharing how people were trying to do this, we would like to share some practical experiences that might be encountered on the road.

Triad Semiconductor Inc., the industry’s leading supplier of via-configurable analog and mixed-signal ASICs, will demonstrate its silicon-proven via-configurable array (VCA) technology for analog, digital and mixed-signal design at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in Boston from September 21st to 24th, 2009.
