Accellera's Portable Stimulus standard aims to improve verification efficiency and the reuse of test IP across the entire design life cycle.

Verification coverage attempts to at least provide a partial answer to the question: "How do you know you are finished verifying?" It involves the combination of a number of techniques.

The value of the emulation market has almost doubled in the last four years as the technique becomes increasingly valuable to hardware/software co-verification.

More than half of design companies claim to use ABV but many have yet to deploy full methodologies.
