We present a linear-time certifying algorithm that tests graphs for 3-edge-connectivity. If the input graph G is not 3-edge-connected, the algorithm returns a 2-edge-cut. If G is 3-edge-connected, the algorithm returns a construction sequence that constructs G from the graph with two nodes and three parallel edges using only operations that (obviously) preserve 3-edge-connectivity.
