Product Description
SystemVerilog for Verification teaches the reader how to use the power of the new SystemVerilog testbench constructs plus methodology without requiring in-depth knowledge of Object Oriented Programming or Constrained Random Testing. The book covers the SystemVerilog verification constructs such as classes, program blocks, C interface, randomization, and functional coverage. SystemVerilog for Verification also reviews some design topics such as interfaces and array types. There are extensive code examples and detailed explanations. The book will be based on Synopsys courses, seminars, and tutorials that the author developed for SystemVerilog, Vera, RVM, and OOP. Concepts will be built up chapter-by-chapter, and detailed testbench using these topics will be presented in the final chapter. SystemVerilog for Verification concentrates on the best practices for verifying your design using the power of the language.

Excellent Starter Book For Newbies November 3, 2008 I purchased this book since I had to implement a new verification environment from scratch. I read the entire book, and I was off building a verification environment with SV.
There are few details which are not discussed in the book, for instance how to import classes into other classes(from a package), and how you should compile the entire project (again from a package).
Overall, if you don't know SV, and OOP, this is an excellent book to start with.
Excellent book except for ... January 16, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
a few non-compliant code examples that do not follow the IEEE LRM. With that said, overall the book contains a number of good examples and covers the SV language. It doesn't spend much time discussing methodology (which can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for).
In summary, decent reading and a good language reference. Definitely a lot better than the VMM book.
Good introduction -- 3 and half stars January 10, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Book is a good introduction to system verilog for verification - though some typographical mistakes and some coding mistakes, make it bit flaky.
I would definately recommend this book - as it is the fastest way to get going around system verilog. One thing I like is that it is tied to any vendor specific methodology like RVM or AVM or VMM.
SystemVerilog January 10, 2007 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Helpful for those migrating from verilog because it compares the new concepts in relation to known concepts of verilog. I liked the "bug" symbol that cautions against possible coding problems. All systemverilog concepts are covered in the book with examples. What is lacking is a practical usable example to build a complete simulation environment.
Add this to your HDL library! January 6, 2007 5 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book explains the basics of how to write advanced testbenches using SystemVerilog's Object Oriented programming capabilities. The book does a great job of helping to understand the basics of OO programming, and how OO can be applied to hardware verification. The book is full of tips on the right way to use SystemVerilog. This book should be required reading before picking up books on advanced verification methodologies, such as Janick Bergeron's book on SystemVerilog Verificaiton Methodology Manual.
I am the principle author of the companion to this book, "SystemVerilog for Design: A Guide to Using SystemVerilog for Hardware Design and Modeling", ISBN: 0387333991. My book covers the synthesis aspects of SystemVerilog, and Chris Spear's book covers the testbench side. Our two books are designed to go hand-in-hand. I strongly recommend Chris Spear's SystemVerilog for Verification book be added to your library! -- Stu Sutherland
