AUSTIN, TX, Jun 24 (MARKET WIRE) — Zocalo Tech, Inc., an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) company focusingon Assertion Based Verification (ABV) productivity software, is shippingZazz(TM).
Zazz, first introduced at DVCon in February 2009, is the firstEDA software product to make using assertion libraries quick, easy andaccurate by automating tedious error prone tasks with its easy to useintuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI). With Zazz, the checkers fromthe most widely used assertion libraries can be attached to a design anddocumented in minutes.Most experts agree that assertion checkers added by designers havesignificant impact on detecting problems early in the functionalverification process. The designer is the most familiar with the intentand limitations of the design and is in the best position to define wherethey are needed during simulation. Additionally, with checkers in place,formal verification can begin at the earliest stage and at the “sweetspot” for formal verification. Designer-provided assertion checkersresult in increased communication between the designers and verificationengineers.
