This is a new improvement emerging from the current ESA UVVM project. This brand new functionality will allow the use of simple but important assertions in your testbench - or even inside your DUT. The UVVM assertions are heavily inspired by OVL (**[Accellera Standard OVL V2](https://www.accellera.org/downloads/standards/ovl)**) - but we have done a lot of work to simplify their usage and integrate them with UVVM.

The UVVM assertions are procedure-based and easy to use. The intention here is to use them as concurrent procedures that can be inserted into your code in a very simple way, wherever you need your assertions. You will find the documentation on **[uvvm.github.io](http://uvvm.github.io/)**, and UVVM can be downloaded from **[GitHub](https://github.com/UVVM/UVVM)**.
