System Verilog for Verification

The SystemVerilog for Verification book is a follow-on to the SystemVerilog for Design book, published earlier this year. The book will introduce the reader to the advanced testbench, verification and programming features of the Accellera SystemVerilog 3.1a standard, focusing on how these constructs can be used to set up effective verification methodologies. Readers should have a working knowledge of the Verilog HDL and preferably have read the "SystemVerilog for Design" book. Familiarity with other verification languages, Object-Oriented programming, constrained-random data generation and assertion languages would be helpful, although these topics will be covered in detail.Other topics to be covered include: Advanced programming features, including dynamic and associative arrays; Multiple processes, synchronization, communication and process control; Functional coverage. The book will contain appendices that discuss the new programming interfaces that are included in SystemVerilog 3.1a.Fitzpatrick, Tom is the author of 'System Verilog for Verification ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780387255712 and ISBN 0387255710.
