Industrial Case Studies - Combinatorial and Pairwise Testing

Combinatorial testing is being applied successfully in nearly every industry, and is especially valuable for assurance of high-risk software with safety or security concerns. Combinatorial testing is referred to as effectively exhaustive, or pseudo-exhaustive, because it can be as effective as fully exhaustive testing, while reducing test set size by 20X to more than 100X. Case studies below are from many types of applications, including aerospace, automotive, autonomous systems, cybersecurity, financial systems, video games, industrial controls, telecommunications, web applications, and...
