Verification and validation are two important steps in the creations of electronic systems and over time their roles, but how they play together is changing. In fact, today we are seeing a major ...

When it comes to verification and validation, medical device companies need to ensure that what they're doing actually makes sense. Known colloquially as "V&V," for many it feels like you're on the ...

Defining what a processor is, and what it is supposed to do, is not always as easy as it sounds. In fact, companies are struggling with the implications of hundreds of heterogenous processing elements ...

Software testing, verification and validation form the backbone of modern software quality assurance. These interrelated activities ensure that a software system accurately implements its intended ...

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issues initial licenses for commercial nuclear power plants for 40 years of operation – a period originally based on economic and antitrust considerations, ...

This paper briefly discusses the approaches for Validation Environment and Test methodologies adopted for 8-bit microcontroller family based products. We would be focusing on modularity and the need ...

Why hardware-assisted verification systems are vital to designing next-gen hardware. The differences between hardware emulation and FPGA-based prototyping systems. How the demands of data-center CPUs ...

A key focus of the IC design industry is to deliver first-pass silicon, which means finding most, if not all, of the potential defects before tape-out. This is extremely difficult due to increasing ...
