ALAMO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Jul 20, 2006 --
OASIS Tooling today introduced gmTest, a new
technology to verify the operational and computational correctness of EDA
software. The gmTest technology improves code coverage to find more bugs
prior to release for design and mask operations using computational
geometry and other similarly complex design operations. The development of
the technology extends OASIS Tooling's success in commercial OASIS
verification technology into broader automated verification and debugging
of software code.
gmTest comprises a deep and broad palette of example test cases designed to
catch coding bugs and incorrect methods and operations created during code
development.
Rather than relying on narrowly defined test cases that comprise known bugs
created somewhere and sometime in the past, the libraries and analysis
software in gmTest cover the possible variants of all errors that may occur
during code development. Code coverage is expected to improve from 40-60%
to over 90%. gmTest combines mathematical analysis of computational
geometry algorithms, intelligent automated layout synthesis, geometric
hashing and code coverage methods to create a system for the automated
verification of CAD and EDA tools.
There are 23 modules covering operations such as electrical, design and
mask rule checks, rule deck verification, extraction, fracturing, OPC,
placement accuracy and computational geometry algorithm performance.
