1. A method for selecting test sequences comprising;
- a first step for preparing tree-structured state transition data associated with state transition weights from state transition data;
a second step for extracting test sequences from the tree-structured state transition data; and
a third step for repeating processes of determining averaged weight for each of the test sequences, selecting a test sequence by which the average is maximum, and decrementing the weights contained in the selected test sequence by one unit to prioritize the test sequences.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus for selecting test sequences that comprises preparing tree-structured state transition data associated with state transition weights from state transition data, extracting test sequences from the tree-structured state transition data, and repeating processes of determining averaged weight for each of the test sequences, selecting a test sequence by which the average is maximum, and decrementing the weights contained in the selected test sequence by one unit to prioritize the test sequences.
