The OSVVM Utility Library

The OSVVM utility library offers the same capabilities as those provided by other verification languages (such as SystemVerilog and UVM):

• Transaction-Level Modeling and verification components
• Constrained Random test generation
• Functional Coverage with hooks for UCIS coverage database integration
• Intelligent Coverage Random test generation
• Utilities for testbench process synchronization generation
• Utilities for clock and reset generation
• Transcript files
• Error logging and reporting - Alerts and Affirmations
• Message filtering - Logs
• Scoreboards and FIFOs (data structures for verification)
• Memory models

Documentation for the Utility library can be found here
