Experimental Features

SVUnit provides a more streamlined way of defining tests, which requires less boilerplate code. This is an experimental feature, which is still under development and is not part of the public API.

To activate this feature, use the –enable-experimental option of the runSVUnit script.

Here’s an example of such a streamlined test:

package factorial_test;

  import factorial::*;

  `include "svunit.svh"
  `include "svunit_defines.svh"


  `TEST_BEGIN(handles_zero_input)
    `FAIL_UNLESS(factorial(0) == 1)
  `TEST_END


  `TEST_BEGIN(handle_positive_input)
    `FAIL_UNLESS(factorial(1) == 1)
    `FAIL_UNLESS(factorial(2) == 2)
    `FAIL_UNLESS(factorial(3) == 6)
    `FAIL_UNLESS(factorial(8) == 40320)
  `TEST_END
