Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are tasked with designing a traffic signal controller that must work correctly under all possible light and pedestrian signal configurations. Discuss how you would use formal verification to ensure exhaustive coverage in testing this design.

💡 Hint: Consider what configurations might cause issues in real-world scenarios.

Challenge 2 Hard

A complex digital circuit design occasionally fails under rare input conditions. Propose a formal verification strategy focused on exhaustive coverage for detecting these failures.

💡 Hint: Think about what types of failures are commonly missed during traditional testing.
