ABSTRACT:
A method and system for instrumenting testcase execution processing of a hardware description language (HDL) model using a simulation control program. In accordance with the method of the present invention, a set name application program interface (API) entry point is called wherein the set name API entry point includes program instructions for naming a simulation control program in association with testcase execution of the HDL model. A create event API entry point is called, wherein the create event API entry point includes an event identifier input parameter which identifies a testcase execution event with respect to the named simulation control program. In response to executing a testcase simulation cycle, signal values are retrieved from the HDL model into an instrumentation code block, wherein the instrumentation code block includes program instructions for processing the retrieved signals to detect whether the testcase execution event has occurred during the testcase simulation cycle.
