Abstract

The present invention provides a method and computer readable medium with program instructions for automatically verifying bus transactions. The method includes: parsing a parameter code for the bus transactions, wherein the parameter code comprises a plurality of expected parameter values for the bus transactions; automatically integrating the parsed parameter code into a checking program; and automatically executing the checking program, wherein the checking program compares the plurality of expected parameter values with a plurality of actual parameter values for the bus transactions. The bus transaction verification method in accordance with the present invention automates the coding of expected parameter values for each test case into a checking program and automates the execution of the checking program, where the checking program compares the expected parameter values with the actual parameter values. By automating the bus transaction verification in this manner, the process is more efficient and reduces the chances of human error and inaccurate observation.
