Abstract
Cover points are automatically generated based on analysis of the hardware design represented in register transfer level (RTL) of a hardware description language. A cover point generator uses uncertainty of event occurrence, critical point analysis and redundancy elimination to determine consequential cover points for function verification. A user may provide input parameters to the cover point generator to define depth and width of cover events for generating cover points.
