Wiring verification system, wiring verification method, and wiring verification program product

A wiring verification system for verifying a wire passing through a plurality of boards comprising:

• a system netlist creating unit to create a system netlist showing a theoretical connection relation between boards based on wiring defining information showing a wiring state of each board and based on inter-board connection defining information showing a connection state of each board;
• an external connection tracing unit to produce external connection information by tracing a relation of connection between a board to be verified and an external board, based on a system netlist created by said system netlist creating unit;
• an external load generating unit to generate an external dummy load defining a wire length or wire delay between a board to be verified and said external board, based on said external connection information produced by said external connection tracing unit;
• and
• a wiring verification unit to verify a wire passing through said plurality of boards based on said external dummy load generated by said external load generating unit.

A wiring verification method for verifying a wire passing through a plurality of boards, comprising:

• an external connection tracing process of tracing a single or a plurality of external boards each serving as an external path to be connected to a board to be an object of wiring verification and to produce external connection information;
• an external load generating process of generating an external dummy load defining a wire length or wire delay of said external path based on external connection information created by said external connection tracing process;
• and
• a wiring verification method of verifying a wire passing through a plurality of boards based on an external dummy load generated by said external load generating process.
