Combinatorial Testing

Combinatorial testing quick start

Combinatorial Testing Quick Start – two short readings make it easy to learn the basics:

  1. Read tutorial sections 2, 3, and 4 (pp. 4 to 18) (pdf in English or Español):  
    Practical Combinatorial Testing     // Pruebas Combinatorias Prácaticas 
    Two examples are included, illustrating how to apply the combinatorial approach. 
  2. See the ACTS User Guide, which explains how to use the ACTS tool.  The user guide contains illustrations and screen shots of examples showing how to use the tool for practical testing.

Now try it on your own testing project!
