In the development process of digital circuits, it is often not possible to avoid introducing errors into systems that are being developed. Early detection of such errors saves money and time. This project deals with automation of feedback in functional verification of various data processing components. The goal of automatic feedback is not only to shorten the time needed to verify the functionality of a system, but mainly to improve verification coverage of corner cases and thus increase the confidence in the verified system. General functional and formal verification principles and practices are discussed, coverage metrics are presented, limitations of both techniques are mentioned and room for improvement of current status is identified. Design of feedback verification environment using a genetic algorithm is described in detial. The verification results are summarized and evaluated.
