Abstract :
Given a set of application or system-specific parameters that may interact incorrectly, do not rely on guesswork in selecting which combinations of those parameters to test. This paper describes a technique and free tool called ReduceArray2 that simplify the process of identifying a minimal or near-minimal set of tests to exercise all pairs of parameters.
