Functional verification coverage vs. physical stuck-at fault coverage

Abstract

It is shown that a functional verification coverage model based on functional property model is a super set of nonredundant physical stuck-at faults in this paper. This paper overviews a methodology to validate and verify hardware or software systems where the specification is modeled as a finite functional property model. The methodology proposed can produce a short verification/test with short verification and test application time and high design verification/physical fault coverage.
