Tests in Python?

[adumont]

HW tests are run from python, would make sense to do the same with sw tests?

Maybe Python --> Verilator? (instead of iverilog testbench?) --> rewrite the testbench?

Also programmed tests instead of static tests like now?

Static tests: test.in / test.out are written to files, beforehand.

Programmed tests I mean I would write something like

for example, test for A*B, 15 rounds with random values:

for i in range(15)
a=random(10)
b=random(25)
in.append(a)
in.append(b)
out.append(a*b)

runTest("mul",in,out)
