Breker Verification Systems has released Trek, a graph-based functional test synthesis tool that it claims reduces verification efforts more than 10x. The approach incorporates a dependency resolution engine that helps analyze the verification plan, providing a compact graphical representation.
The Trek tool helps users visualize the verification plan and analyze it for completeness and coverage, then automatically generates test vectors. Pre-simulation analysis estimates the number of tests needed for 100% plan coverage and post simulation analysis provides feedback on the coverage achieved, helping users to achieve full coverage quickly. The tool lists for $32K and is compatible with popular test bench tools such as System Verilog, Verilog, Vera, Specman, and System C. www.brekersystems.com
