Microcode Test Sequence

Concept

A **microcode test sequence** is a generated sequence of microprocessor instructions used in verification. In modern microprocessor verification, such sequences are often produced by automated random test generators rather than by hand-written directed tests, because processor complexity has increased and random generators can cover stimulus space more efficiently.[^4de14aa6]

Microcode Test Sequence

A microcode test sequence is a generated sequence of microprocessor instructions used in verification. In modern microprocessor verification, such sequences are often produced by automated random test generators rather than by hand-written directed tests, because processor complexity has increased and random generators can cover stimulus space more efficiently.[1]
