Learning objectives

The course aims to train students in the field of languages and automatic tools that underpin the verification and testing methodologies of complex digital and analog systems. In particular, the main objective of the course is to explain how it is possible to represent complex systems through virtual platforms in relation to their physical realization and to guarantee the functional safety and certification process of the devices that compose them. Upon completion of the course, the students must demonstrate that they have acquired the fundamental knowledge to understand the methodologies and tools necessary to verify and test complex analog / digital devices, to guarantee their functional safety, and to certify them. This knowledge will allow the students to: represent analog / digital systems in the form of virtual platforms; define verification methods based on dynamic and semi-formal techniques; develop approaches for testing and fault tolerance; use, integrate, and develop automatic tools for the modelling, verification and testing of analog / digital systems; activate certification processes.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Didactic methods

The course is organized in lectures, exercises and self-assessment activities through the use of online questionnaires. There will also be practical computer exercises.

Learning assessment procedures

The final exam consists of two parts:
- a written test containing questions and exercises;
- a report describing the application to a case study of skills acquired in the laboratory exercises. Alternatively, to such a report, it is possible to carry out a project connected with the thesis.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

To pass the exam, students must demonstrate that they:
- understand the principles related to the verification and testing of a system;
- are able to present their arguments in a precise and organic way without digressions;
- know how to apply the knowledge acquired to solve application problems presented in the form of exercises, questions and projects.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final grade is given by the weighted sum of the theory grade and the laboratory report.
