Practical adoptions of T-way strategies for interaction testing

Abstract

This paper discusses the practical adoption of t-way strategies (also termed interaction testing) for interaction testing. Unlike earlier work, this paper also highlights and unifies the different possible use of t-way strategies including uniform interaction, variable strength interaction, and input-output based relations. In order to help engineers make informed decision on the different use of t-way strategies, this paper discusses the main issues and shortcomings to be considered as well as demonstrates some practical results with a-step-by-step example. In doing so, this paper also analyzes the related works highlighting the current state-of-the-arts and capabilities of some of the existing t-way strategy implementations. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
