Vagner Pires is the winner of the Q4 2009 SpringSoft Superhero Story Contest!

SpringSoft Superhero Comic inspired by Vagner's experience:

The SpringSoft community voted Vagner Pires, a design engineer at a large semiconductor company, as having the most creative story about how he overcame design and verification challenges to become an engineering superhero and make a difference in his personal life.

Vagner based the short story on his past experiences having to work nights and weekends to perform tedious debugging tasks, sometimes missing out on quality time with his family. Once he adopted the Verdi System, he was able to quickly find the cause of design errors and correct them, dramatically improving his overall verification cycle and keeping his projects on schedule.

Vagner Pires' winning entry is:

It was a beautiful summer Friday and Vagner had arranged with his family that they would travel to the beach that weekend.

First there was a very important simulation that had to be run to complete a project. But at around 4 pm, the simulation stopped!

Vagner was desperate! Will I have to give up my weekend with the family over this?

Vagner suddenly had a brilliant idea: I can use the Verdi System to find the bug and resolve it. Bingo! The bugs were found and resolved quickly and the project would be completed without problems.

On the way to the beach Vagner thinks to himself: Thanks to the SpringSoft tools, I'm can go to the beach with my family.
