John Brennan - Cadence Design Systems, Inc.

Creating and executing effective verification plans is a challenging mix of art and science that can go sideways despite the best efforts of engineers and managers. Every company does it a bit differently, and thus it’s often difficult to know if what your company is doing for your own verification project is competitive with current best practices. This panel is designed to bring together experts in verification planning, and have an open discussion about what’s working and what’s not -- covering topics from methodology to human factors to automation techniques known to provide proven results. The experts will debate and discuss the following topics:
  • Best practices in creating a verification plan
  • How to prevent bug escapes
  • Proven concepts in planning automation
  • Techniques for brainstorming plan elements
  • Avoiding over planning
  • Tracking & merging results from multiple technologies (HDLs/RTL, firmware, analog, formal etc.)
  • Human / managerial factors to consider
