Introducing Combinatorial Testing in a Large Organization: Pilot Project Experience Report

This poster gives an overview of the experience of eight pilot projects, over two years, applying combinatorial testing in Lockheed Martin (LM), one of the world´s largest aerospace firms. Lockheed Martin and NIST developed a Co-operative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to evaluate effectiveness and areas of suitable application for combinatorial testing in a real-world industrial setting with complex software requirements. (One of the ways in which NIST conducts joint research with US industry is through CRADAs, which allow federal laboratories to work with US industry and provide flexibility in structuring projects, intellectual property rights, and in protecting industry proprietary information and research results).
