Preface
This book is the result of the deep involvement of the authors in the development of EDA tools, SystemVerilog Assertion standardization, and many years of practical experience. One of the goals of this book is to expose the oral knowhow circulated among design and verification engineers which has never been written down in its full extent. The book thus contains many practical examples and exercises illustrating the various concepts and semantics of the SystemVerilog assertion language. Much attention is given to discussing efficiency of assertion form
