Algebraic strategy to generate pairwise test set for prime number parameters and variables

Generating pairwise test set when the total number of variables is prime numbers has a remarkable property in that the test case generation process can be simplified by applying straightforward strategy that does not require any storage. This paper discusses the said algebraic strategy and compares the results with the well-known orthogonal array strategy. Additionally, this paper also demonstrates the applicability and simplicity of the strategy as compared to orthogonal array to obtain optimal test set for pairwise testing.
