Computing Sequence Covering Arrays using Unified Combinatorial Interaction Testing

Abstract

Unified Combinatorial Interaction Testing (U-CIT) aims to reduce the barriers to applying combinatorial interaction testing (CIT) approaches to different testing scenarios by generalizing the construction of the CIT objects, so that the necessity of developing a specialized constructor for each distinct scenario, is avoided. In this work, to demonstrate the flexibility provided by U-CIT, we apply it to compute a well-known combinatorial object for testing, namely sequence covering arrays, together with some practical extensions.
