               each Edge-Under-Test (EUT) Unique I/O Sequence (UIO) Set               
          corresponds to an Edge-Under-Test (EUT),                                    
               each Set of Edge-Under-Test (EUT) Unique I/O Sequence                  
          (UIO) Sets consists of Edge-Under-Test (EUT) Unique I/O                     
          Sequence (UIO) Sets corresponding to the same Edge-Under-Test               
          (EUT), and                                                                  
               all Edges-Under-Test (EUT) have corresponding I/O                      
          Sequences;                                                                  
               (b) selecting one Edge-Under-Test (EUT) Unique I/O                     
          Sequence (UIO) Set from each Set of Edge-Under-Test (EUT)                   
          Unique I/O Sequence (UIO) Sets to form a plurality of Selected              
          Edge-Under-Test (EUT) Unique I/O Sequence (UIO) Sets, wherein:              
               each member of each of the plurality of Selected Edge-                 
          Under-Test (EUT) Unique I/O Sequence (UIO) Sets is a Selected               
          Edge-Under-Test (EUT) I/O Sequence; and                                     
               (c) constructing for storage in a memory a plurality of                
          Test Sequences (TS), wherein:                                               
               each Test Subsequence (TS) comprises one Selected Edge-                
          Under-Test (EUT) I/O Sequence and the I/O Sequence                          
          corresponding to the Edge-Under-Test (EUT) corresponding to                 
          the Selected Edge-Under-Test (EUT)Unique I/O Sequence (UIO)                 
          Set containing the Selected Edge-Under-Test (EUT) I/O                       
          Sequence;                                                                   
               each Test Subsequence (TS) is a Second Sequentially                    
          Ordered Series of I/O Sequences corresponding to a Second                   
          Ordered Sequence of State Transitions (TR), and                             
               each said Test Subsequence (TS) starts at a Test                       
          Subsequences (TS) First State and ends at a Test Subsequences               
          (TS) Last State.
