Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computer system for analyzing code to improve efficiency of simulating a hardware system. A computer identifies one or more functions calling an application programming interface of a hardware simulator simulating the hardware system. In response to determining that left hand sides of respective one or more Boolean expressions are associated with the one or more functions calling the application programming interface and right hand sides are not associated with the one or more functions calling the application programming interface, the computer identifies the respective one or more Boolean expressions as one or more improvement points in source code for verifying a hardware model of the hardware system.
