This document discusses a smarter testing method using test case optimization and automation. It proposes generating test cases to increase coverage while reducing the number of test cases. This is achieved through techniques like pairwise testing, orthogonal array testing, and prioritizing test cases based on risk scores. The document demonstrates how a test case generation tool called Hexawise can be used to automatically generate optimal combination test cases by defining input parameters and selection test generation levels. This new approach aims to more effectively test applications within time and resource constraints compared to conventional exhaustive testing.

4. 4
Conventional Approach
● Increasing the test coverage
by increasing the number of
test cases
● Increase in the number
of resources required
● Exhaustive test case
execution
Difficult to achieve the test
coverage in the given time
Conventional Testing Approach

5. New Approach
Approach
Test Case Optimization

Why Test Case Optimization
● To reduce the number of
unused/unwanted test cases
● To find the hidden defects by
designing the perfect combination
of inputs parameters
● Effectively reduce the number of
resources required
● Effective utilization of time
