Patent ID: 7444574

Claim:
A method comprising: applying a stimulus to a Design Under Test (DUT); creating an original simulation results graphical view of resulting signals created by the stimulus; selecting and tagging one or more time-based windows in the original simulation results graphical view as tagged windows, wherein the tagged windows describe multiple temporal slices for capturing and representing events during a particular time period in the original simulation results graphical view; extracting one or more of the tagged windows to identify one or more events within the tagged windows to selectively create extracted expressions of identified events; categorizing each of the extracted expressions according to a specific time window, in the original simulation results graphical view, from which each of the extracted expressions were extracted, wherein the categorizing describes original temporal positions of the extracted expressions; and reordering the extracted expressions as reordered combined multiple extracted expressions to create a different event scenario for inputs to the DUT, wherein the different event scenario describes different temporal positions of the extracted expressions as compared to the original temporal positions of the extracted expressions.
