Questa Design Solutions

Automated intent-focused verification for designers

Using only your RTL (and SDC constraints or UPF power intent files), Questa Design Solutions is an integrated and complementary solution that finds and fixes bugs early in the design process when the design and program is still flexible.
Questa Design Solutions is an automated and integrated suite of verification tools for designers to improve initial RTL quality. Design Solutions analyzes code at the design stage to detect bugs early, where they are cheapest and easiest to fix, to improve efficiency, enhance development predictability and ease pressure on schedules.

The high impact of design issues on projects

Mistakes happen, but finding and fixing issues late in programs increases overall program scope, as well as schedule and resource requirements. Competitive pressures push teams constantly to do more. Functional verification teams face significant challenges to build testbenches quickly, uncover design issues and enable rapid debug. Incomplete or incorrect bug fixes (or even a hurried introduction of new bugs) compound the problem. In addition, there are classes of design bugs that are challenging to catch at all in functional verification.

Superior capabilities and quality of results

Through a combination of data analysis, hierarchical and multi-modal technologies, leading analysis engines providing advanced static verification technologies, Questa Design Solutions provides fast analysis with high quality of results and minimal noise. These analyses provide not only results, but insight behind the issues, such as metrics, visualization and recommendations. Questa Design Solutions delivers these results and insights, without a testbench, with technologies built to scale across the most challenging designs and projects.
