contents The increasing competition in the semiconductor industry has created significant pressure to reduce chip prices while maintaining quality and reliability. Functional verification, particularly for configurable IPs, is a major contributor to development costs due to its complexity and resource-intensive nature. To address this, we propose a fully automated framework for requirements driven functional verification. The framework automates key processes, including vPlan generation, testbench creation, regression execution, and reporting in a requirements management tool, drastically reducing verification effort. This approach accelerates development cycles, minimizes human error, and enhances coverage, offering a scalable and efficient solution to the challenges of verifying configurable IPs.
