Sequence-based interaction testing implementation using Bees Algorithm

T-way strategies is used to generate test data to detect faults due to interaction. In the literature, there are many t-way strategies developed by researchers for the past 10 years. However, most of the strategies assumed sequence-less parameter interaction. In the real world, there are many systems that consider the sequence of the input parameter in order to produce correct output. These interactions of the sequence of inputs need to be tested to avoid fault due to sequence interaction. In this paper we present a sequence-based interaction testing strategy (termed as sequence covering array) using Bees Algorithm. We discuss the implementation, present and compare the results with existing sequence covering array algorithm.
