Abstract
As mentioned in the previous chapter, one of the mechanisms that can be used to improve the efficiency and reliability of a process is automation. This chapter covers tools used in a state-of-the-art functional verification environment. Some of these tools, such as simulators, are essential for the functional verification activity to take place. Others, such as linting or code coverage tools, automate some of the most tedious tasks of verification and help increase the confidence in the outcome of the functional verification.
