SystemVerilog OOP Mastery · All levels

Prerequisites

What to know before starting, and how this maps to UVM.

Before you start

  • Comfort with SystemVerilog data types, tasks/functions, and modules.

  • Basic testbench structure (driver/monitor/scoreboard ideas help).

  • No prior C++/Java needed - comparisons are explained inline.

Why OOP matters for UVM

UVM is built entirely on SystemVerilog OOP: components and transactions are classes, the factory relies on polymorphism, and configuration uses parameterized and static patterns. Mastering this course makes UVM feel obvious instead of magical.
