With the Questa Vanguard Programme, Mentor has joined forces with leaders in training, consulting, conversion services and verification intellectual property (IP) to simplify and accelerate the adoption of new verification languages and techniques.
Each partner works closely with Mentor to ensure that their products support the Questa platform and the Advanced Verification Methodology (AVM).
In particular, Mentor has worked with select partners to facilitate the availability of their conversion products and services to help users rapidly migrate from proprietary single-vendor languages to SystemVerilog and the AVM.
QVP enables design and verification engineers to meet today's verification challenges by extending and augmenting the Questa solution via Mentor's partnerships, thus allowing customers to identify the right partner for their verification needs.
With a strong balance of QVP partners that support a broad set of verification IP, Mentor Graphics leverages the verification IP qualified for use with the Questa platform to deliver greater value to Mentor customers.
QVP partners support more than 30 protocols with over 50 verification IP elements.
Membership in the Questa Vanguard Programme is open to those companies who work with Mentor Graphics verification customers and wish to promote the development and use of EDA tools, verification IP, training services and verification methodology consulting that support the SystemVerilog standard for design and verification.
QVP members gain access to the Questa platform to ensure design and verification data interoperability and to provide support for mutual customers.
In addition, Questa has been designed to work with Mentor's ModelSim partner tool integrations, design libraries, and others services which represent more than 500 products and services from over 100 companies.
