Sometimes good ideas take a while to catch on in engineering practice. The use of in-line assertions to document assumptions and check for problems in RTL code is one such idea. Long ago proposed for ...

Developers make assumptions about how our code will behave when executed, but we’re not always right. Without certainty, it is challenging to write programs that work correctly at runtime. Java ...

Many people in the electronics industry are predicting that assertions are the next big breakthrough that will enable engineers to continue to design and verify larger and more complex designs.
