The present disclosure relates to a method for debugging associated with formal verification of an electronic design. Embodiments may include performing, using a processor, an initial formal verification of an electronic design. Embodiments may further include identifying one or more counter-examples associated with one or more assertion properties of the electronic design or identifying one or more cover-traces associated with one or more cover properties of the electronic design. Embodiments may further include generating a trace core for each of the one or more counter-examples or cover-traces, wherein each trace core includes a minimal representation of the counter-example or cover-trace. Embodiments may further include identifying a similarity between a plurality of the trace cores and clustering the plurality of trace cores having the similarity.
