Synopsys SLM STAR Hierarchical System (SHS) is an automated hierarchical test solution for efficiently testing SoCs or designs using multiple IP/cores, including analog/mixed-signal IP, digital logic cores and interface IP. It significantly reduces test integration time by automatically creating a hierarchical IEEE 1500 network to access and control all IP/cores at the SoC level, and increases test quality of results (QoR), including optimizing test time and power through flexible test scheduling of IP and cores
