ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for generating test files for design verification of a simulated integrated circuit design such as a cache memory circuit, that involve steps of creating a series of functions, updating a data integrity buffer after each function is created, creating a series of integrity check functions from the data in the data integrity buffer, and writing the series of functions and the series of integrity check functions to a test file. This file can be compiled if necessary and executed by a software or hardware simulator.
