what are the checks we do in each stage of physical design?

[n.suresh60]

1. from synthesis to gds, what are the must and should checks at each and every steps, like after synthesis, floorplan, powerplan, placement, CTS, routing.?
2). what are the inputs for the above steps?

After synthesis you can check your pre-layout timing of the synthesized circuit.
After floorplan routing and all you must check LVS and DRC of your GDS.

Inputs contains RTL file, sdc file .lef files cap table files and standard library files.
