Claim:
1. A method comprising: generating, by a computing system, a framework for a system-level design of an electronic system, wherein the framework for the system-level design includes a plurality of objects corresponding to a plurality of different portions of the system-level design, and wherein each of the objects is assigned one or more attributes configured to define one or more characteristics for design data expected to be correlated with at least one of the portions of the system-level design; correlating, by the computing system, a plurality of design components in a plurality of electronic circuit designs generated by a plurality of electronic design automation tools to the objects corresponding to the different portions of the system-level design; comparing, by the computing system, the design components in the electronic circuit designs to the characteristics for the design data defined by the attributes of the objects correlated to the design components in the electronic circuit designs; and determining, by the computing system, whether the electronic circuit designs are congruent with the system-level design based, at least in part, on the comparison of the design components in the electronic circuit designs to the characteristics for the design data defined by the attributes of the objects in the framework for the system-level design.
