Abstract: We describe a relatively simple method for strengthening invariants when verifying in nite-state hardware systems called symbolic consistency testing. The method requires a high-level symbolic simulator and a decision procedure for quanti er-free rst-order logic. The user only needs to provide a small number of simple symbolic test vectors that expose internal inconsistencies in the system state. A veri cation system then uses symbolic simulation with these test vectors to strengthen... (Update)
