Many companies have a goal to migrate to UVM but this must be achieved without disrupting on-­‐going projects and environments. In our current clients we have all possible combinations of migration paths, a desire to move new projects to UVM and a definite need to support OVM for a good few years. This article presents an interesting OVM to UVM migration story where we successfully translated a whole family of verification components from OVM 2.1.2 to UVM, assessed the impact, and then reworked the original OVM code, which was still live in a series of ongoing derivative projects, to make the ongoing translations totally automatic and part of the project release mechanism.
