There are several books about hardware verification, so what makesthis book different? Put simply, this book is meant to be useful in yourday-to-day work—which is why we refer to it throughout as a handbook.The authors are like you, cube dwellers, with battle scars from developingchips. We must cope with impossible schedules, a shortage of people todo the work, and constantly mutating hardware specifications.We subtitled this book An Object-Oriented Framework because a majortheme of the book is how to use object-oriented programming (OOP) todo verification well. We focus on real-world examples, bloopers, andcode snippets. Sure, we talk about programming theory, but the themeof this book is how to write simpler, adaptable, reusable code. We focusmainly on OOP techniques because we feel that this is the best way tomanage the ever-increasing complexity of verification. We back this upwith open-source Verification Intellectual Property (VIP), several completetest systems, and s cripts to run them.
