Notices

While this guide offers a set of instructions to perform one or more specific verification tasks, it should be

supplemented by education, experience, and professional judgment. Not all aspects of this guide may be

applicable in all circumstances. The UVM 1.0 User’s Guide does not necessarily represent the standard of

care by which the adequacy of a given professional service must be judged nor should this document be

applied without consideration of a project’s unique aspects. This guide has been approved through the

Accellera consensus process and serves to increase the awareness of information and approaches in

verification methodology. This guide may have several recommendations to accomplish the same thing and

may require some judgment to determine the best course of action.

The UVM 1.0 Class Reference represents the foundation used to create the UVM 1.0 User’s Guide. This

guide is a way to apply the UVM 1.0 Class Reference, but is not the only way. Accellera believes standards

are an important ingredient to foster innovation and continues to encourage industry innovation based on its

standards.

Suggestions for improvements to the UVM 1.0 User’s Guide are welcome. They should be sent to the VIP

email reflector
