    This document provides steps to generate code coverage reports in VCS, MODELSIM/QUESTA, and NC SIM. For MODELSIM/QUESTA: 1. Compile design files with coverage enabled and specify coverage types. 2. Simulate design with coverage option and run simulation. 3. Save UCDB files for each test run and merge into a single UCDB file. For NC SIM: 1. Specify coverage file during compilation to enable coverage. 2. Use iccr commands to view coverage reports by merging test runs and generating reports. For VCS: 1. Generate functional coverage using urg command. 2. Generate code coverage specifying coverage manager

    How to generate coverage in VCS (SNPS) , QUESTA and NC

    MODELSIM or QUESTA:

    STEP1: Compile your design files with your selected coverage


    QuestaSim > vlog +cover <bcst> -f design_file_list
    +cover [=s b c e f t x] Enable code coverage metrics by specifying one or more of the
    characters:
    s - Statement
    b - Branch
    c - Condition
    e - Expression
    f - Fsm
    t - Toggle
    x - Extended toggle
    Note: If no character is specified, sbceft is the default.
    STEP2:

    Simulate with the coverage option


    QuestaSim > vsim -coverage file_testbench.v
    and the run -all

    OR,
    You can enable it using GUI Mode also.
    Go to Compile > Compile Options and select the Coverage tab.Another option
    is,you have to just right-click on your design file at "Project" and choose "Properties". Now, you
    can see coverage tab. After running the simulation and you will be able to see the coverage tabs
    for analysis.
    If you are running regression and you have to save the coverage report of the first
    test (UCDB file) and merge to the next UCDB of the next test till the regression finishes.And
    finally you will be able to the see total Code Coverage.
    vsim -c -do "coverage save -onexit <TESTSET_CODE_COVER>.ucdb ; run
    -all;exit" -coverage -voptargs="+cover=bcfst" <otherOptions> <TOP>
    Here we tell vsim to
    1. Enable code coverage (-coverage),
    2. The types of coverage to collect (via -voptargs=+cover= bcefst").
    3. To produce a coverage database file on the exit of simulation (do "coverage save -onexit
    coverage.ucdb)
    4. Continue the step1 and Step2 till the regression ends
    STEP3:
    Further if you have multiple coverage databases, you can merge them into a single
    database by using:
    vcover merge <ucdbFile1>.ucdb <ucdbFile2>.ucdb ... <ucdbFileN>.ucdb
    <ucdbFileResult>.ucdb

    The finally you can generate a HTML report:


    vcover report -html -htmldir <dirToOutput> -verbose -threshL 50 -threshH 90
    <ucdbFileResult>.ucdb
    NC SIM
    ncverilog <OTHER_ARGUMENTS> +nccoverage+all +nccov58
    +nccovworkdir+cov_work +nclexpragma +nccovtest+<testcase_name> +nccovoverwrite
    +nccovdut+worklib.dut_top -T test_top.sv
    1. For switching coverage ON : Use +nccovfile+dut_cov.txt while compiling.
    //*********************dut_cov.txt****************//
    select_coverage -all -module top
    .......
    select_functional
    select_fsm
    //************************************************//
    Note : During simulation use : covoverwrite -covtest mycov.cov
    2. To view coverage:
    iccr -keywords+detail iccr1.cmd
    OR
    iccr -keywords+summary iccr2.cmd OR
    iccr -keywords+dontmerge iccr3.cmd
    //********************* iccr1.cmd **********************//
    merge cov_work/design/test* -output merged_dir
    reset_coverage
    load_test cov_work/design/merged_dir
    report_detail -instance -betsafd -cgopt top... > detail.rpt
    //********************* iccr2.cmd **********************//
    merge cov_work/design/test* -output merged_dir
    reset_coverage
    load_test cov_work/design/merged_dir
    report_summary -instance -cgopt top... > summary.rpt
    //********************* iccr3.cmd **********************//
    load_test cov_work/design/*
    report_summary -instance -cgopt top... > summary.rpt
    VCS
    1. To generate functional coverage
    % urg -dir simv.vdb

    2. To generate code coverage


    % vcs -cm_pp -cm_dir simv.cm -cm_name XXX -cm_report summary
