Course Outline

Verification using UVM is designed to help engineers transition to the more standardized verification methodology, UVM. This course helps engineers understand the concepts of building a testbench from the ground up using UVM. The goal is to understand the different requirements to effectively stitch the different components to create a re-usable and extendable testbench. Examples with explanations and labs are provided help comprehend the different concepts of UVM.

Course Duration: Two days.

Prerequisites

This course requires the engineer to have good understanding of SystemVerilog and also have thorough comprehension of Object Oriented programming within SystemVerilog. It is highly desired that the engineer have worked on at least one Verification project.
