A process/methodology is only as good as its adoption/compliance. And in Verification since there are so many different ways of “getting it done” it is hard to get sync across teams/groups/projects/companies etc. This is where the methodology comes to play (be it VMM,OVM<eRM etc.). But again how am I sure that I follow all the guidelines?
Consider this – we got an email from a user as recently as last week on our VMM book code (www.systemverilog.us) about not adding “is_valid” method in data model. The book was published back in 2006 I believe. That just goes to say that a “compliance checker” is a very handy tool to create highly reusable Verification code. But who will check for compliance?
Thankfully, here is an answer for OVM and that too for no cost!
