1. A method for determining test sets of operating parameter values for an electronic component, the method comprising: determining a set of intermediate sets, each intermediate set comprising a unique combination of operating parameters chosen from a parameter set containing a plurality of parameters, each operating parameter associated with one or more parameter values; determining a set of reference sets, each reference set comprising all possible combinations of parameter values for the operating parameters corresponding to a respective intermediate set; selecting a set of test sets, from a set of parameter value sets, each parameter value set comprising a unique combination of parameter values associated for all operating parameters from the parameter set, wherein the set of reference sets is a subset of plurality sets, each set of the plurality of sets comprising all possible combinations of the parameter values for all operating parameters of a respective test set, and wherein an amount of the plurality of test sets equals an amount of test sets.
