Practical Flows for Continuous Integration: Making The Most of Your EDA Tools
November 16, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am PST
Verifying changes to RTL and testbench code prior to releasing to the rest of your team is the best way to avoid committing bugs that cause massive, team-wide disruptions. This webinar takes you through example tool flows that, when used within a Continuous Integration (CI) system, can avoid or even eliminate those bugs and disruptions.
In this webinar we’ll teach you how to use a collection of tools – both formal and simulation – as part of a comprehensive approach to verifying RTL and testbench changes before releasing them to your team.
What You Will Learn:
- Guidelines for deploying formal apps to effectively root cause design bugs
- How to build and customize tool flows for continuous integration
- Recommendations for introducing continuous integration
Who Should Attend:
- Design & Verification engineers and Managers from medium to large size teams who are interested in maintaining a stable, functioning code base during active development
- Especially applicable for teams who rely exclusively on simulation for functional verification
