Abstract:
1. A machine readable storage medium having stored therein a library of data structures defining reusable verification components for use by a plurality of programming instructions to enable the plurality of programming instructions to perform a method during verification of a design, the method comprising, generating data objects, applying data objects to said design under verification, monitoring a physical interface unit on the design, extracting data objects from said physical interface unit, and checking the extracted data objects; wherein the reusable verification components comprise one or more physical interface units; wherein the one or more physical interface units inject zero or more errors into the circuit design of the design under verification; and wherein a set of reusable verification components can be stacked into a hierarchical verification component: and wherein a set of reusable verification components can be organized into a flow that generates an input that matches the input specification of the design and receives an output that matches the output specification of the design.
