What is DVP&R?

DVP&R stands for Design Verification Plan and Report. It is a document used in hardware engineering, particularly in the semiconductor industry, to outline the process and results of verifying that a hardware design meets its specifications and requirements. The DVP defines the verification strategy, lists the verification methods (simulation, emulation, formal verification, etc.), and tracks the progress and results of each verification task. The report summarizes the findings and provides evidence that the design is ready for tapeout or production.
