Gathering Regression List for Structural Coverage Analysis

Structural coverage analysis is a method to ensure RBTs parse the code structure to verify every line of code for its correctness. RBTCA is used to determine the efficiency our tests verifying implementation of the software requirements. The intention is to check whether code and requirements are in sync.

Solving a problem like reuse

To invest the time and resources in reusing an analog IP requires a judgement call on the potential returns from the market and the time it takes to get the IP to that market to generate revenue is key – if a competitor project hits the market first, then the potential returns are greatly diminished.
