I could not agree with this article any more, especially on the last point.  We verifiers should education the importance of verification to the company, especially to the executives who make the budget decision.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Your tool provider won\u2019t tell you that, nor will those fancy methodology books, but verification is not all about mastering technical skills. True, those will help you very much in your daily work but verification is first and foremost TEAM WORK. But not only that, there are several key factors, or qualities if you will, that really distinguish the great verification teams from the good ones. Here there are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Resourcefulness<\/strong> &#8211; this is the single most important quality that a verifier should possess. Verifiers live in a turbulent environment, and if there\u2019s one thing certain about verification is that things never go according to plan. This turbulence is caused by two groups of factors \u2013 exogenous factors and endogenous factors. Exogenous factors could be vague specifications, evolving requirements and so on. Something that keeps shaking the ground beneath you along the way. Endogenous factors could be debugging complexity, tool problems, and so on. One way or another, these things affect predictability and quite often verification team members get stuck. The path they\u2019re on is blocked and they need to find a new path to proceed. Being able to always come up with new approaches and steer the verification ship forward is paramount.<br \/>\n<em>Executive Tip: Try to predict in advance what could go wrong at any stage of the verification process and always have a Plan B.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Excitement <\/strong>\u2013 verifiers, let\u2019s face it, don\u2019t necessarily enjoy much glory in their work. Their job is often (wrongly) perceived as boring and second in importance (not true either). Being able to constantly generate excitement is a key factor. Different team members find excitement in different things. For instance, some verifiers might find it exciting to reveal bugs. They like the feeling of finding a critical bug in the design, and you can\u2019t blame them. Other team members might get a kick out of building comlex environments \u2013 they enjoy software engineering challenges and once they manage to put together a really nice verification environment they\u2019re very satisfied.<br \/>\n<em>Executive Tip: Identify what excites your team members, find out what tasks they\u2019re really good at and try to assign each member a matching task, to the extent possible.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Pareto Principle<\/strong> \u2013 as with everything else, the Pareto principle can be applied here as well to optimize the efforts of the verification team. A great verification team knows that 20% of their efforts account for 80% of their achievements.  For example \u2013 in Coverage Driven Verification it is a known fact that achieving 80% of the coverage goals is the relatively easy part. Getting to 100% takes much more effort and time.<br \/>\n<em>Executive Tip: The sooner you identify what 20% will generate 80% of your verification goals the better \u2013 focus on that!<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Planned Mode vs. Combat Mode<\/strong> \u2013 verification projects typically have a work plan. The project is divided into groups of tasks and sub-tasks of various types along the project\u2019s time-line. Experience shows that there are stages in the verification process where the team should stick to the plan at all costs. Typical stages \u2013 during the development of verification IP, or during the process of analyzing the Spec and generating verification plans. There might be, however, periods of times when the plan ought to be tossed away and the team should switch to \u201ccombat mode\u201d. Once things start to stabilize again it\u2019s time to go back to the Gantt chart and readjust the work plan. A good \u201ccombat mode\u201d example is the regression phase which is usually the last phase of any verification project. In this phase the team is focused on debugging failing tests from the nightly or weekly regression. It\u2019s hard to estimate the duration of this phase. In most cases reality dictates schedule. Another example \u2013 integrating verification IP or design IP. It doesn\u2019t matter how much time such tasks should take, in reality those tasks cannot be forced into completion. They need their time. Code integration is therefore a classic \u201ccombat mode\u201d phase where plans should be left aside, replaced by a big to do list.<br \/>\n<em>Executive Tip: Plans are nothing; planning is everything (Dwight. D Eisenhower)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Educate Your Company<\/strong> \u2013 great verification teams not only outperform the good ones, but they also try to educate their colleagues along the way. Why? Because people who have no hands-on verification experience don\u2019t understand it (\u201chey- what\u2019s the big deal, just write a bunch of tests and run them. Now how hard could that be right?\u201d). Ignorance and wrong perceptions inevitably lead to wrong decision making. The times are changing, and the sooner chip designers and managers realize that verification is much less bug hunting and much more system engineering than they think, the better.<br \/>\n<em>Executive Tip: Make a short presentation on how verification is done today \u2013 concepts, architecture, methodology and tools. Your colleagues will thank you.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is some words of wisdom on verification from thinkverification.com.
