The present invention provides a method and apparatus for design verification.
The method comprises operating a device in the system in a first state, modifying
at least one operational characteristic of the device to operate in a second state,
and determining if an error condition occurs in the system in response to modifying
the operational characteristic of the device. The apparatus comprises an interface
and a verification module adapted to receive a control signal from the interface
and to adjust an operating characteristic of the apparatus to exercise a system
in a manner that is capable of revealing one or more error conditions in the system
in response to receiving the control signal.
