Show hintHide hint
Recall what assertion checks represent in verification.
Question 5.
Design a simplified automated testbench that incorporates both random test generation and assertion checks for a hypothetical digital filter.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how different signal types can affect filter behavior.
Question 6.
Evaluate the effectiveness of solely using random test generation without assertion-based verification in a high-reliability design context.
Show hintHide hint
Think about industries where reliability is paramount, like automotive or medical devices.
