Verification plan (testplan)
Beginner
The list of checks the team will run to prove the chip does what the spec says.
Novice
A document that lists what will be checked, how (simulating the design in software, mathematical proof, running it on special hardware, analysis, or testing real chips) and when each check counts as done. Each entry points back to a requirement or feature.
Expert
Usually a machine-readable list of testpoints, each mapped to features or requirement IDs and to the tests and coverage measurements that close it. The results of the automated test runs then roll up into a per-requirement status report.
