Abstract
Metamorphic Testing (MT) has been employed very successfully in the software domain. The core idea is to uncover bugs by relating consecutive executions of the program under test. In this paper, we present a novel MT-based verification approach to verify Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) systems at system level. The central element of our MT-approach is a set of Metamorphic Relations (MRs) which describes the relation of inputs and outputs of consecutive DUV executions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our MT-based verification approach on Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) and Phase-locked Loop (PLL).
