ABSTRACT
As verification activities dominate the systems development process efficient testbenches at an adequate level of abstraction are crucial factors to shorten time-to-market. We give an overview of the current state of ESL testbenches and the corresponding articles of the special session show advances and future directions of IEEE-1600-2011 SystemC in the context of testbenches for Transaction Level Modeling (TLM)[5][6][12][15][16].

The system verification methodology for advanced TLM verification
CODES+ISSS '12: Proceedings of the eighth IEEE/ACM/IFIP international conference on Hardware/software codesign and system synthesisThe IEEE-1800 SystemVerilog [20] system description and verification language integrates dedicated verification features, like constraint random stimulus generation and functional coverage, which are the building blocks of the Universal Verification ...
Generation of TLM testbenches using mutation testing
CODES+ISSS '12: Proceedings of the eighth IEEE/ACM/IFIP international conference on Hardware/software codesign and system synthesisTestbench development is a major component of simulation based verification, which is the de-facto verification technique used in the industry. Verification of a TLM design is not complete without a measure of the effectiveness of its testbenches. We ...
Induction-Based Formal Verification of SystemC TLM Designs
MTV '09: Proceedings of the 2009 10th International Workshop on Microprocessor Test and VerificationIn this paper we present a formal verification approach for SystemC TLM designs. The approaches allows to check expressive properties and uses induction to cope with the large state space of abstract SystemC programs. The technique is tightly integrated ...
