Summary: Test teams are often faced with an enormous number of test scenarios, each of which has the potential to break software. No one expects you to test all combinations; it would take a lifetime to do that. And so the essential question remains: How do you test effectively? This session offers you tips for choosing your tests wisely. This way, you maximize coverage using few tests. Bernie Berger presents examples of all-pairs test case sets using both discrete and non-discrete values. He also shows you how to organize the all-pairs test case sets, especially when values are conditional.
