UVM_1.1_Class_Reference_Final_06062011

Verification has evolved into a complex project that often spans internal and external teams, but the discontinuity associated with multiple, incompatible methodologies among those teams has limited productivity. The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) 1.1 Class Reference addresses verification complexity and interoperability within companies and throughout the electronics industry for both novice and advanced teams while also providing consistency. While UVM is revolutionary, being the first verification methodology to be standardized, it is also evolutionary, as it is built on the Open Verification Methodology (OVM), which combined the Advanced Verification Methodology (AVM) with the Universal Reuse Methodology (URM) and concepts from the e Reuse Methodology (eRM). Furthermore, UVM also infuses concepts and code from the Verification Methodology Manual (VMM), plus the collective experience and knowledge of the 300+ members of the Accellera Verification IP Technical Subcommittee (VIP-TSC) to help standardize verification methodology.
