Understanding Pairwise Test Generation

Combinatorial test data generators generate data tables for testing. The most basic, commonly used combinatorial data generation strategy is what is known as pairwise testing, all-pairs testing, covering arrays or Taguchi designs. (The term orthogonal array is sometimes used also, but it actually refers to a method for designing statistical ...

Testing Economics: Why Non-Defect Tests Matter

Let's assume (this obviously a much simplified setting) that you are planning to release a new product version that will generate $1mn in sales. There may or may not be one critical bug left in the version. If there actually is a critical bug, this will cost to you in terms of product replacements, customer supports and customer disloyalty total ...

Michael Mlynarski: Testing ROI Challenges

On his model-based testing blog, Michael Mlynarski writes: In this session we have discussed the ROI of software testing techniques. More than 20 experienced testers or test managers had difficulties on formulating the ROI of any testing technique. Two main arguments were about reducing the costs for bug-fixes in late stages of the development ...
