Abstract:
SystemVerilog is a super next-generation Verilog with a fancy marketing name. SystemVerilog leveraged many of its features from other languages and methodologies. Class-based capabilities, constrained random testing (CRT), and functional coverage were all features that were added to SystemVerilog and incorporated into the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM). UVM has become the most dominant and powerful verification methodology used to verify designs by engineers today.
