Abstract
Cover properties are extended in formal verification to reach an effective end-of-test stage for a design under test. A formal verification task for a design under test may be received at a verification system. A cover property asserted in the formal verification task may be identified. An additional condition may be implemented for the identified cover property to extend the identified cover property to cause performance of the formal verification task to generate a trace to reach an effective end-of-test stage for the design under test in the event of a failure of the cover property.
