Abstract

The present invention provides a system and method that includes a library module including a plurality of programmable components and at least one corresponding test case for each programmable component. The system also includes the configurator module coupled to the library module and accessing at least one of the plurality of programmable components and the at least one corresponding test case. The configurator module further outputs a code describing a processor for running a software-defined digital signal processor and includes the accessed programmable component and a plurality of interconnections linking the accessed programmable component. The system further includes a test case generator coupled to the configurator to output a test suite including the at least one corresponding test case for each accessed programmable component and a plurality of interconnect tests to test the plurality of interconnections linking the accessed programmable component.
