SoC Verification

In General, SoC Soft IP is nothing but a actual ASIC chip sitting in FPGA.
But how do we ensure that this is meetig all functionality of the ASIC Chip.
I.e
1. How do you ensure that all the ASIC supporting instruction opocodes are covered in this Soft IP ?
2. How to add few more instruction to the existing Soft IP Core ?
3. How to verify the functionality of Soft IP:
- Is it through the simulation by using test cases or any other approach by using assembly code in the On-board Target ?
- How to perform the on-board testing of this SoC ?

For example:
Intel 80376 from Intel is a ASIC processor and its discontinued in the market.
But Soft IP are available in market but how do we verify that SoC Soft IP is meeting all the requirements of ASIC Processor (Intel 80376)
