ASIC verification tasks verification engineers dislike the most !!!

I was having a friendly discussion with few of my fellow verification engineers, we were discussing about the verification tasks they dislike the most. The conclusion from the discussion was they disliked verification tasks which were laborious, which requires manual effort and had very little learning opportunity. The verification task they disliked are as follows.


1)Language migration without the help of a commercial language conversion tool
2)Code coverage analysis and identification of code coverage exclusions.
3) “X” tracing while debugging gate level simulation.
4)Release management ( Tagging the release code ,Triggering regression and debug of regression results ,becomes messy when more that 25 people are involved and release management is handled by a single person)
5)Working on outdated technology which is away from the verification market movement.
