Abstract
Formal specifications can help resolve both ambiguity issues and
correctness problems in verifying complex hardware designs. This new
methodology shows how specifications can also help design productivity
by automating many procedures that are now done manually. Input
sequences, output assertions, and a simulation coverage metric for the
design under verification are all generated directly from the
specification
