ABSTRACT:
A circuit designing apparatus comprising: unit for specifying the changed points of the circuit description automatically in predetermined unit, and classifying the plural test vectors into those related with the changed points and others not; wherein the second and subsequent logic verification processes are executed by using only the test vectors relating to the changed points. As a result, the time required for circuit design can be substantially curtailed.
