ABSTRACT:
The invention presents a method for selecting test cases in a test simulation of logic designs to improve speed and effectiveness of such testing. The method for selecting such test cases after such test cases are generated includes generating a test-coverage file and a harvest-goals file for the test case. The harvest-goals file contains a list of events and initial goal for each event. Harvest criteria is used to determined whether the number of hits for each event meets the initial goal. By applying the harvest criteria to the test case, it is determined whether to harvest the test case. The test case is saved and identified for harvest, if the test case is determined to be harvested. Also, the harvest-goals file is adjusted, if the test case is determined to be harvested.
