Abstract

Verification is one of the most critical stages in integrated circuit development. Given the current market conditions, a wise manner to improve verification results would be concentrating resources in error-prone modules. In this paper a novel method of attaching information to commit messages is introduced. Through the use of a simple and parseable language, important and more accurate statistics can be retrieved. Tools were developed in order to make commits faster and prevent erroneous data analysis.
