Abstract
The disclosure relates to a test bench, method, and computer program product for performing a test case on an integrated circuit. The test bench may comprise a simulation environment representing an environment for implementing the integrated circuit and a reference model of the integrated circuit, wherein the reference model may be prepared for running within the simulation environment. The test bench may further comprise a device for running a simulation on the reference model within the simulation environment. The reference model may be based on an original reference model provided for a formal verification.
