OVM: Open Verification Methodology for Efficient Chip Verification

OVM, or Open Verification Methodology, is an open-source verification methodology designed for functional verification of system-on-chip (SoC) designs. It provides a reusable, extensible, and object-oriented verification framework that enables customization of verification environments and test scenarios. OVM supports various simulation tools and verification languages, contributing to more efficient functional verification for chip designers and verification engineers, ultimately enhancing the quality and efficiency of design and verification processes.

Developed by Accellera Systems Initiative, OVM has become a widely adopted verification methodology within the industry.
