Abstract

A system and method for implementing a verification system. Included is a first set of verification engines for attempting to solve a verification problem. At least one of the first set of verification engines divides the verification problem into a set of partitions and passes at least one of the set of partitions to a second set of verification engines. Each one of the set of partitions may be passed to a distinctly separate verification engine. A system framework is configured to communicate with an application program and further configured to instantiate at least one verification engine in a user-defined sequence. Included within at least one of the first set of verification engines is a means for communicating verification information to the second set of verification engines.
