Abstract
A method and computer program product for verifying an incremental change to an integrated circuit design include receiving as input an integrated circuit design database and an engineering change order. Objects in the integrated circuit design database are identified and marked to indicate a current state of the integrated circuit design database. The engineering change order is applied to the integrated circuit design database, and the integrated circuit design database is analyzed to generate a list of incremental changes to the integrated circuit design database resulting from the engineering change order. Objects in the integrated circuit design database included in the list of incremental changes are identified and marked to distinguish objects in the integrated circuit design database that were changed from the current state. The marked integrated circuit design database distinguishing the objects that were changed from the current state is generated as output.
