The UVM class library brings a framework and automation to the SystemVerilog language such as sequences and data automation features (packing, copy, compare) etc., and unlike the previous methodologies developed independently by EDA (Electronic Design Automation) Vendors, is an Accellera standard with support from multiple vendors: Aldec ...
eRM formed the basis of the URM (Universal Reuse Methodology) developed by Cadence Design Systems for the SystemVerilog verification language. URM, together with contribution from Mentor Graphics' AVM, later became the OVM (Open Verification Methodology), and eventually becoming the UVM (Universal Verification Methodology).

Field randomization can be controlled by hard constraints, soft constraints or even be turned off completely. Soft constraints are used as the default constraints, and may be automatically overridden by the test layer if a conflict occurs. Otherwise it behaves like a regular constraint.
Whereas Verilog used a single, general-purpose always block to model different types of hardware structures, each of SystemVerilog's new blocks is intended to model a specific type of hardware, by imposing semantic restrictions to ensure that hardware described by the blocks matches the intended usage of the model. An HDL compiler or ...
The OVM also brings in concepts from the Advanced Verification Methodology (AVM). The UVM class library brings much automation to the SystemVerilog language such as sequences and data automation features (packing, copy, compare, etc.). The UVM also has recommendations for code packaging and naming conventions.
Verilog was later submitted to IEEE and became IEEE Standard 1364-1995, commonly referred to as Verilog-95. In the same time frame Cadence initiated the creation of Verilog-A to put standards support behind its analog simulator Spectre. Verilog-A was never intended to be a standalone language and is a subset of Verilog-AMS which encompassed ...
Initially, the group supported VHDL as a standard, but extended its coverage to Verilog, and then additional areas in the design automation space. After going through a period of very few meetings in 2004–06 which ended with some contention about Power standards (see Common Power Format and Unified Power Format ), the group developed new and ...
Initially, Verilog and VHDL were used to document and simulate circuit designs already captured and described in another form (such as schematic files). HDL simulation enabled engineers to work at a higher level of abstraction than simulation at the schematic level, and thus increased design capacity from hundreds of transistors to thousands.
