What is the best way to define a stimulus hint (i.e. testcase) for a self checking directed test?
If you must write a a self checking directed test it is most likely targeting a design behavior and not a coverage goal. Self checking behavior testcases are most easily defined and tracked by selecting the “Self checking” box next to the behavior. These testcases/checkers will be not be listed under stimulus hints because they are self directed checkers and not hints for how to steer a coverage driven random environment. Hopefully you will have very few, if any, testcases of this style.
