Day 6: Testbenches & AI-Assisted Verification¶
Week 2 · Session 6 of 16
Pre-Class Slide Decks¶
Work through the slide decks below to prepare for this session. Each deck's focus is summarized so you can see what's ahead at a glance.
Segment 1: Testbench Anatomy¶
We've been running testbenches all week. Today we start writing them.
Segment 2: Self Checking Testbenches¶
The PASS/FAIL pattern you've been reading all week, from the inside.
Segment 3: Tasks For Organization¶
Refactoring lesson: how to turn sprawling stimulus-and-check into clean, readable, maintainable test cases.
Segment 4: File Driven Testing¶
Scaling up — test vectors in external files so your testbench can run thousands of cases.
Lecture Code Examples¶
Code shown during the pre-class video. Each example is a runnable
subdirectory with its own Makefile (make sim, make stat, make prog).
