Why UVM-UTest?

UVM-UTest is an open-source demonstration that shows the value of unit testing legacy code. If you’ve got legacy code (who doesn’t??) and/or you’re a person that cares about the UVM framework having the highest quality of code possible, then you’ll be interested in UVM-UTest.

Step 1: SVUnit Download and Setup
