SVA: The Power of Assertions in SystemVerilog [electronic resource] by Eduard Cerny, Surrendra Dudani, John Havlicek, Dmitry Korchemny.

This book is a comprehensive guide to assertion-based verification of hardware designs using SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA).  It enables readers to minimize the cost of verification by using assertion-based techniques in simulation testing, coverage collection, and formal analysis.  The book provide...
