• Continuous Integration flow, Integration flow for consuming baselines and creating top level baselines – Developed as integration lead for Talos project. New methodology created from scratch which reduces the need of a resource. Eliminates manual work of merging common file changes. All BDC projects have employed same flow.
• IPA performance methodology, New flow developed in sync with core DV team to extract the IPA vectors and plug them at SoC and run the performance tests. Initially around 2 months of effort was needed to develop performance tests and get results. With the automation, the effort reduced to less than a week and improved the quality of tests. Showstopper bug was caught in Olympic project with the new methodology. Won best paper award at QBUZZ for the new methodology.
• DAP APB automation, Created new flow for CSR testing of debug registers through DAP. Updated multiple scripts to support DAP testing like QSAM CSR.
• Coverage grading, To extract minimum number of tests which covers maximum number of functional signal toggles and to add them in Priority testlist. Scripts were developed from scratch to extract information and dump out signal to toggle mapping. Database for all peripheral blocks are created and used as reference. Paper is submitted in Qbuzz - Unraveling the SOC toggle coverage closure hazards with continuous learning approach. Documentation and presentations are prepared for the same and communicated to other teams to try out the same.
• Fishtail verification, integration script updates and Jenkins, Fishtail execution ownership. Suggestions on improving coverage and followup with respective teams to add new scenarios. Worked on updating multiple integration scripts. Jenkins ownership in BDC and multiple runs were shifted on it.
• Testbus Automation flow, Testbus signals were manually coded in SV tests and for every project it needed to be changed. Removed manual coding portion and created a DPI to be called in SV test and auto-population of test bus signals.
