Functional Verification

Functional verification is the process of ensuring that a digital design, such as a computer chip or software system, behaves exactly as intended. It involves testing and analyzing the design’s features and functions to confirm they work correctly under various conditions. Think of it like checking a new appliance to see if it performs all its promised features properly before it reaches consumers. This process helps catch mistakes early, reducing the risk of costly errors later, and ensures the final product meets the specified requirements for correct operation.
