SAN JOSE, CA and WILSONVILLE, OR - Cadence Design Systems and Mentor Graphics have announced the publication of a book on Open Verification Methodology (OVM).

Step-by-Step Functional Verification with SystemVerilog and OVM is written by Dr. Sasan Iman.

The book provides a claimed guide and reference for adopting a functional verification methodology, learning the SystemVerilog language, and using the OVM library to build a verification environment for a realistic design example. The book reportedly contains more than 500 pages of original technical content.

"Dr. Iman brings together all the essential elements to understand the use and application of the OVM," said Dennis Brophy, director at Mentor Graphics. "This book has everything design and verification engineers would want to know to apply the OVM to their most pressing challenges."

"This book walks the reader through the OVM as well as the SystemVerilog language constructs upon which it is built. The breadth of this book and its pragmatic approach make it an invaluable resource for both novice and experienced verification engineers." said Ted Vucurevich, CTO at Cadence.

The publication is available at either of the following sites:
