Qualis and Verisity Partner to Deliver Reusable Verification Components
PORTLAND, Ore.----Oct. 23, 2000--Qualis Design
Corporation and Verisity Design, Inc. today announced that the two
companies have partnered to develop reusable, robust, verification
components for systems developers.
By using Qualis' ATM/Utopia eVC, a reusable verification component
based on Verisity's e verification language, and through a family of
methodology-based training courses focused on Verisity's Specman
Elite(TM), developers can cut down on the time, money and risk
normally associated with the in-house development cycle.
Qualis, a high-end design consultancy company specializing in
functional verification and design reuse methodologies, has expanded
its partnership with Verisity, a leading-edge supplier of tools for
functional verification, as part of a strategic initiative to extend
its expertise in reuse methodologies to address the current bottleneck
in SOC verification.
``Methodology can only be useful to designers if it can be mapped
into existing EDA tool environments,'' said Michael Horne, Qualis
founder and CEO. ``Therefore, it is imperative that we work closely
with key tool vendors to ensure that our methodologies are translated
down to the practical, every day requirements of engineers. By
expanding our relationship with Verisity, a provider of innovative
verification tool solutions, we can bring customers the best in
methodology, realized and tested on the advanced verification
technology provided by Verisity.''
The first in a planned series of reusable verification modules,
the ATM/Utopia eVC provides systems developers with the advantages of
robust verification while eliminating the time and risk involved in
in-house development. In addition, Qualis Design and Verisity have
also made available a family of methodology-based training courses
focused on Verisity's Specman Elite(TM), a comprehensive system for
functional verification that automates the entire process of
verification.
``As a leader in reuse methodologies, Qualis brings extensive
experience and knowledge in realizing the full potential of key
methodologies and tools for systems developers,'' said Francine
Ferguson, Verisity's vice president of marketing. ``Verification reuse
is a critical aspect of the overall verification methodology,
particularly for standard interfaces. Our partnership will enable us
to meet the tremendous demand we've seen for reusable verification
components in our customer base.''
The SONET/Utopia verification component is available now.
Consulting and training services are included to ensure rapid
deployment and integration into the client's design environment.
