For example, you might think of system on chip (SoC) as a relatively recent term, coined this century. However, many regard the silicon that appeared in digital watches in the 1970s as constituting a system on a chip, ...

Try FSM Coverage A quick look into FSM Coverage The verification process is long and time consuming, especially when you are not sure what you are looking for. There are a lots of directions you can go looking for bugs but without a guide, without a plan you will most likely be going in circles....
