ABSTRACT
The project work is on Release Candidate testing of Synopsys DesignWare ARC
Products which involves methodical testing of DesignWare ARC products such as 32bit processor cores, embedded vision processors, audio processors and codecs,
operating systems, development tools and applications.
The release candidate testing is the deciding factor for a product release to the
customer/market. This is the stage performed between the product development and
release in the market. The pre-released product is received from the developers by
the release candidate testing (RCT) team, wherein a Checklist is prepared by the test
engineer, developers, test plan and PDD. The testing is conducted based on the
checklist prepared, accordingly the results are provided for the release of the
product to the developers.
The report contains the details of testing conducted on ARC GNU, ARChitect and
DesignWare EM Processor.
