Computational models and simulations have had an important role in engineering analysis since as far back as the 1960s. It is widely recognized that the use of modeling and simulation tools can make ...

When it comes to verification and validation, medical device companies need to ensure that what they're doing actually makes sense. Known colloquially as "V&V," for many it feels like you're on the ...

If chip design had a face, it would have a wrinkle or two, an especially deep one caused by the increasingly complex challenge of hardware and software verification. Until recently, these two elements ...

Verification and validation are two important steps in the creations of electronic systems and over time their roles, but how they play together is changing. In fact, today we are seeing a major ...

A key focus of the IC design industry is to deliver first-pass silicon, which means finding most, if not all, of the potential defects before tape-out. This is extremely difficult due to increasing ...

Every product has defects. Finding them as early in the development process as possible is definitely something to strive for. Building quality into software as it's being developed is far more ...
