Verification Advisor A Dynamic Web-Based Verification Knowledge-Transfer System

Verification Advisors Highlights 100's of man years of verification knowledge Database of detailed verification techniques Contains many complete examples in e Web-based interface User extensible

Verification is a "black art".  Verisity's Verification Advisor® sheds light on the mystical aspects of verification by providing a database of "patterns", sharing Verisity's deep knowledge of verification across entire design teams- all in an easy to use HTML database.

Verification is the single most critical factor for the success of any new product. Increasing productivity and sharing verification techniques has become essential. With Verisity's Verification Advisor, both new and experienced engineers can utilize Verisity's wealth of verification knowledge, reuse and share information, and increase overall verification productivity.

But Our Problem is Unique and Different!
No two verification environments are identical. That's true. But it doesn't mean each one must be built from scratch. Why not take advantage of Verisity's verification expertise, or share lessons learned and best practices from within your company. Verification knowledge is extremely scarce, having the ability to tap into a web-based verification database and past experiences is invaluable. But how can these ideas be transferred?

The Verisity Solution
Verisity's Verification Advisor is a dynamic web-based knowledge-transfer system for verification engineers. Various techniques or ``best practices" are summarized as patterns and supported with examples in "e". This concept transfers lessons learned across multiple disciplines. New users pick up skills from experienced professionals while experienced verification engineers share information. Verification Advisor helps you capture, present, and distribute the principles of verification.

Verification Advisor uses ``patterns" to describe solutions for complex verification problems. These patterns contain executable e examples that can be extracted and used immediately.

Identify and Attack Verification Issues
Without question, best practices for verification cross many projects and industries. If the problems are appropriately abstracted, good verification architecture techniques apply to multiple environments. Within Verification Advisor, a built-in keyword search allows you to search for top level or application-specific patterns, helping you pinpoint necessary information. Complete e examples allow you to attack the verification ``blank-page syndrome".

Your Verification Guide
Over 100 industry-proven best practices have been abstracted and can be accessed through Verification Advisor. Verisity has pulled together a collection of examples reflecting hundreds of years of electronic design verification experience. Let Verification Advisor be your guide to gaining the experience necessary to be successful across every application domain. 

Jump Right In
Verification principles need customization. Verification Advisor's patterns are structured so that they are simple enough to allow you to easily get started, yet have the ability to handle the most complex tasks. The examples are written so they may be employed as templates for easy customization. You will quickly be able to modify the examples and get started in applying the code to your application. 

Easy to Use Web-Based Interface
Using your web browser, you may skip over areas that are well understood and probe in depth where more details are desired. Hyperlinked patterns are filled with notes and e examples allowing you to identify and solve specific problems by traversing through the database according to your individual experience. 

Make Verification Advisor Work for You
Within your team you may have senior members who have a core competence in verification not generally available to all members of the team. This knowledge can be captured for the benefit of the rest of your company as an extension of the Verisity supplied patterns. Patterns can be easily added as your team builds more experience and develops new verification techniques and templates. Verification Advisor working for you is sure to increase your overall verification productivity.
