Oh my why did we leave the verilog in system verilog? Good grief, if engineers cannot be bothered to learn a better language for verification, we should just give up and go back to just using verilog for everything. Oh, yeah, that is really what we have done.

Fabulous book that I think every serious user of systemverilog should read. There are some controversial things taught (the use of program statements, for example) but on the whole this is an excellent description and reference for the language.

In my opinion, the best book for a beginner student in digital verification.

[Omar Younis]

A must read for anyone pursuing a career in Hardware Verification

Mesleğim hakkında verdiğiniz fikirler ve tüyolar için teşekkürler Chris Spear. Biraz daha UVM taraflarını anlatsaydınız iyi olurdu ama sorun değil.

Systemverilog for verification is a classic book for DV engineers. We name it 'green-cover book', which is as popular as the ABC book.
