9.4. Simulation-Based Approach
[Bergeron 2000] introduced a re-convergence model for the general design and verification process. Figure 9.11 illustrates the application of this model to functional verification. The designer's effort is dedicated to transforming the functional specification into an implementation in HDL, whereas the verification effort ensures that the transformation is as intended without misinterpreting any functionality.

The functional verification process is typically associated with the concept of testbench, which refers to the environment used ...
