Methods and apparatus for recording and visualizing transactions of a test bench simulation are disclosed. Transaction-specific data generated from a test bench simulation may be displayed in a sequence diagram view to provide a view of the transactions arranged sequentially in time.

Method and apparatus for transaction recording and visualization

Disclosed is a method of debugging a simulation system including design code representing a design of an electronic circuit and test program code configured to exercise the design code. The method includes using an interactive debugging tool to execute an interactive simulation of the test program code and the design code, and, during the interactive simulation, displaying, using the interactive debugging tool, information of a simulation results file storing a plurality of signal values generated by executing the test program code and the design code during a previously executed simulation.
