Abstract:
A computer-implemented method, computerized apparatus and computer program product for modified design debugging using differential trace back. An indication of an interface signal in a time unit in an execution resulting in a value miscompare between a design and a modification thereof is obtained. For each of the design and the modification, a data record detailing each signal value in each time unit, and a structure description detailing all components and interconnections thereamong, are obtained. A suspect root cause of the value miscompare is traced back from the interface signal in the time unit, the tracing back comprising comparing values in the data records of candidate signals selected based on the data records and the structure descriptions.

Claim (Index 10):
The computerized apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the first structure description is used to determine a type of a signal of the design, wherein the second structure description is used to determine a type of a signal of the modification of the design, wherein responsive ta current signal in a current time unit traced back from the interface signal in the time unit being a signal of a data storing component, a corresponding candidate signal is determined based on a former signal of the data storing component in a time unit immediately preceding the current time unit, wherein said determining the suspect root cause comprising tracing back the antecedent signal in the antecedent time unit from the former signal.
