Abstract
Methods and apparatus for recording and visualizing transactions of a test bench simulation are disclosed. Transaction-specific data generated from a test bench simulation may be displayed in a sequence diagram view to provide a view of the transactions arranged sequentially in time.
Claims34
A method, comprising:
- running a simulation comprising transactions on a device under test, wherein the simulation comprises multiple test bench components;
- generating a transaction database as a response to the simulation,
- wherein the transaction database comprises transaction-specific data elements for a specific transaction between the test bench components;
- generating a sequence diagram from the transaction database, wherein an element of the sequence diagram comprises a temporal relationship between two or more of the transaction-specific data elements;
- and
- displaying the sequence diagram, wherein the displayed sequence diagram comprises at least two test bench components and transactions between the at least two test bench components arranged temporally.
3 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a simulator for simulating transactions on a device under test, wherein the simulated transactions comprise multiple test bench components;
- a transaction database for storing simulation results from the simulator, wherein the transaction database comprises transaction-specific data elements for a specific transaction;
- a sequence diagram generator for generating a sequence diagram from the transaction database, wherein an element of the sequence diagram comprises a temporal relationship between two or more of the transaction-specific data elements between the test bench components;
- and
- an output device for displaying the sequence diagram, wherein the displayed sequence diagram comprises an image of at least two test bench components and transactions between the at least two test bench components arranged temporally.
