Buying a Verification IP is a relatively new phenomenon. Even newer, is the claim of vendors providing "Complete" or "Comprehensive" VIPs that include not just BFMs but test suites, coverage suite, assertions et al. Most project managers, VPs or purchase managers are faced with choosing between vendors each of whom are claiming the same advantages.

This leads to the following questions -

Which VIP is the most complete?

Which VIP will most easily integrate into existing environments?
