Constrained random generation techniques manage to create huge quantities of stimulus, but at the end of the day they have difficulties both with closure (achieving the desired verification goals) and secondly with efficiency (huge server farms required). An intelligent testbench can help either by determining efficient stimulus sets or by finding ways to reach difficult to reach coverage points.
