Methods, systems and computer program products for analyzing a timing design of an integrated circuit are disclosed. According to an embodiment, a method for analyzing a timing design of an integrated circuit comprises: providing an initial static timing analysis of the integrated circuit; selecting a static timing test with respect to a static timing test point based on the initial static timing analysis; selecting a timing path (20, 30, 50) leading to the static timing test point for the static timing test; determining an integrated slack path variability for the timing path (20, 30, 50) based on a joint probability distribution of at least one statistically independent parameter; and analyzing the timing design based on the integrated slack path variability. |
