Functional verification: Measurement, Background & Verification methodologies

Functional verification is the task of verifying that a logic design conforms to specification. Functional verification attempts to answer the question "Does this proposed design do what is intended?" This is complex and takes the majority of time and effort (up to 70% of design and development time) in most large electronic system design projects.…
