Editor's note: This adaptive architecture for structuring testbenches accommodates various models of a design, from transaction to silicon. Moreover, the adapter-based architecture supports the execution of design models on different simulators (high level, RTL, gate level, and switch level), hardware emulators (the testbench runs entirely on the emulator), and even testers. —Carl Pixley, Synopsys
