Show hintHide hint
Think about the limitations of traditional testing.
Question 5.
Design a testbench for a simple ALU. What inputs would you supply, and how would you structure your expected outputs?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how each input will interact with the ALU's operations.
Question 6.
Critique the following statement: 'Traditional simulation is sufficient for all hardware designs.' What would you say to that?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what situations could lead to failures despite surface-level success.
