Are the test suites produced always the same, or is there a random component in the test suite generator? 1. Where can I learn more about combinatorial covering suites? The doc directory contains a survey paper and a paper describing the algorithms implemented in CTS. A good introductory article about "pairwise" testing, written by Michael Bolton at DevelopSense, is also available. Back to top 2. Are the test suites constructed by CTS always as small as possible? No; they are the best we know, but there may be some areas where the algorithms could be improved. Back to top 3. Are the test suites produced always the same, or is there a random component in the test suite generator? You may choose to randomize the test cases or leave them in their original, systematically-generated form. See the randomize output method for test suites and "Use Case" Number 4 in the documentation. Back to top
