Combinatorial Test Servicesdevel

The Combinatorial Test Services (CTS) is a software library for generation and manipulation of testing input data or configurations. CTS enables the user to generate small test suites with strong coverage properties, choose regression suites, and perform other useful operations for the creation of systematic software test plans.

CTS defines the basic classes needed for manipulating combinatorial test cases, test suites, and, testing parameters. These classes then provide a wide variety of services needed by the testing community, including the following:

Creation of test suites with a given level of coverage Creation of test suites of a given maximum size Reduction of test suites to manageable regression sets Extending an existing test suite to provide a desired level of coverage Removal of test cases that contain forbidden combinations Construction of test suites without any forbidden combinations Printing the test suites in a format suitable for the use of a test execution engine Printing the test suites in a format suitable for import into MS Excel.
