Smart Combinatorial Testing

Add to calendar

In the right hands, combinatorial testing can be a powerful testing strategy to reduce the number of tests. Unfortunately, when used improperly, it can hurt more than it helps. Ingo Philipp explains that there is not one single combinatorial testing technique that guarantees success. Rather, success lies in creating a tight interaction among all of the techniques, since each is intended to serve a different purpose. In nearly every test project, even small test sets are overrun with countless business-related dependencies. The number and nature of these dependencies do not necessarily bother test experts—until the maintenance of a test set becomes a problem. Join Ingo to find a way out of this dilemma, and learn how you can customize combinatorial testing techniques —without coding—in a business readable fashion. Discover how to achieve the highest possible risk coverage as early as possible. See how eliminating redundant test cases reduces maintenance and prevents costly manual cleanup of test data sets. Learn how to provide useful documentation of your combinatorial test sets including statements of what and why something has to be tested.
