The study and analysis of Pair-Cover test set and effective strategies for pairwise testing

Xiaojun Zhu

Abstract

Pairwise testing is a practical and effective approach for various types of software systems, since many troublesome faults are caused by the interaction of a few test parameters. However, in this paper we point out that to achieve a minimum test set for pairwise testing is an NP - complete problem but the size of such a test set is in an estimable range. And then we take a comparative study on three effective strategies for generating pair - cover test set.
