"At DVCon 2012, long time Cadence Connections Partner AMIQ launch new product -- the "Verissimo" SystemVerilog testbench linter is optimized for functional verification with UVM, and supports users adding their own custom rules. In this video AMIQ's CEO Cristian Amitroaie reviews the highlights of this exciting new offering."

"The Verissimo SystemVerilog Testbench Linter is a a coding guideline and verification methodology compliance checker that enables engineers to perform an effective audit of their testbenches and helps them meet the requirements of today's complex functional verification.", read more >>

It was the odd side niche tools like Amiq DVT Eclipse, Atrenta Spyglass, Duolog Bitwise, that caught user's mindshare in the Verilog/VHDL simulation space.

Amiq DVT Eclipse for 'e' and System Verilog: I had not realized that I had been developing code by banging rocks together.

Ben Cohen, well known author of VHDL and SVA books:
I have been playing with this editor. It is tailored for System Verilog and particularly for OVM/UVM. It's extremely powerful is time saving.
This tool was clearly developed by users themselves (not just requirement people).
DVT Eclipse does dynamic code check on the fly, linting for SystemVerilog and linting for OVM/UVM, choice of editors (e.g., emacs), does context sensitive references to where objects are used, templates, OVM/UVM compliance checks with warnings and error IDs and links to them, auto macro inclusion on selected preferences, class diagram creation with options of details, links to user define tags in code.
It's very VERY powerful and is a great aid in development/debugging of design and verification code (and not just for SystemVerilog, as it also supports VHDL.

"The DVT e-Debug feature integrates seamlessly with Cadence® Incisive® Enterprise Simulator to provide further productivity and quality increase in the verification process.", read more >>

Based on the Eclipse open source platform, DVT is aimed at newcomers and experts working on system design and verification. "I had experience of IDEs in the software development world," Cristian Amitroaie explained. "We urgently needed one in our consulting business and would have bought one if it existed!". Instead, Amiq developed its own IDE and, when customers saw the productivity gains in verification, they wanted it too.

"The complexity of SoC Verification faced by customers today requires more stringent adherence to the UVM reuse verification methodology in order to ensure more seamless IP integration. Capabilities like AMIQ's DVT UVM Compliance Checker are essential for customers to check that their verification IP is consistent with the UVM in order to accelerate time to SoC and silicon realization.", said Michael Stellfox. read more >>

Interview With AMIQ And Update On Their DVT™ IDE

"AMIQ's eDT makes our verification engineers more efficient. The advanced search features, hyperlinks, and class browser are great enhancements to functional verification, which help us to increase the quality of our projects", said Tamir Ostfeld, Sr. Director of VLSI Development at BigBand Networks. read more >>

With the OVM to UVM Migration Wizard capability, the DVT provides automatic OVM to UVM migration, which helps users that adopt UVM to get up to speed in record time. read more >>

"AMIQ's DVT platform makes a significant impact on the efficiency and quality of verification code development and maintenance", said Coby Hanoch, EDAcon Partners' President and CEO. "We are impressed with how fast the verification engineers see the value of this solution and adopt it". read more >>

Starting with the 2.9.3 release, the DVT IDE provides support for both UVM-based code development and OVM to UVM migration. read more >>

AMIQ today announced the availability of compliance-checking rules for the Open Verification Methodology (OVM) in the DVT integrated development environment (IDE).
"In line with our continuous improvement of DVT as the complete development environment for e and SystemVerilog, we added OVM Compliance Review to help audit the architecture of any OVM-based verification environment", said Cristian Amitroaie, CEO of AMIQ.

Binyamini pointed to third-party support for "e" language verification. AMIQ offer native "e" language support inside tools. AMIQ offers an Eclipse-based development environment for "e" and SystemVerilog. read more >>

AMIQ Consulting (Bucharest, Romania) last month also rolled out an IDE for the "e" language based on the Eclipse open-source standard. The company has already seen a lot of demand, said founder Cristian Amitroaie. AMIQ also offers an "e" language parser, import viewer and name checker. "For AMIQ, the final step in the IEEE standardization process is a further confirmation that Cadence is committed to go all the way and support the 'e' language technology," Amitroaie said. read more >>

AMIQ Consulting (Bucharest, Romania) offers EParser, an "e" language parser that EDA vendors or in-house design groups can use to build "e" language tools. Cristian Amitroaie, AMIQ Consulting's founder, noted that IEEE standardization will make the language open, prove it to be mature and increase customer confidence in what is no longer a "proprietary" language.

"As consultants for verification projects, we've seen it ['e'] working," Amitroaie said. "It solves real problems. It is a mature language." read more >>

"The standardization of e is an important milestone for us," said Cristian Amitroaie, founder of AMIQ Consulting. "We are the first provider of an e parser, in addition to services and tools for the e language. Stability and recognition afforded by the IEEE standardization acts as a catalyst to broaden our market opportunities. We invested in the e parser to speed-up the development of e-related design automation tools in the context of an established standard. We expect this investment to show its value." read more >>
