All Pairs testing technique is the method used to get the optimal no. of combination for writing testcases. There are tools available in the market to generate optimal combination but without knowing the concept and the trick , people are not willing to go for it. In this document, I have mentioned about the pairing techniques by referring many existing document.

Pairwise testing - Strategic test case design
Pairwise testing is a technique used to test software interactions between input parameters by selecting all possible unique pairs of parameter values. It aims to find bugs caused by interactions between two parameters, which are common, while being more efficient than testing all possible input combinations. Tools can generate pairwise test sets to cover all pairs, while testing far fewer cases than exhaustive testing. However, pairwise testing requires effective partitioning of input values and has limitations when dependencies between more than two parameters exist or inputs are not discrete. It works best when there are many possible input values that can be separated into equivalence classes.
Combinatorial software test design beyond pairwise testing
This document discusses combinatorial software test design methods for selecting a small number of tests that achieve good coverage of interactions between test inputs. It explains that structured variation between tests is important to explore different areas of the software. Combinatorial testing uses algorithms to calculate the smallest number of tests needed to cover all target combinations of test inputs, like all pairs of values. This method can find many bugs with fewer tests than an unstructured approach.

Reducing Test Case Bloat2 1
This document discusses reducing test case bloat. It defines test case bloat as having more test cases than can effectively be managed within the available time. The author recommends finding and removing unnecessary test cases through methods like prioritizing by importance, change-based filtering, and code coverage analysis. Barriers to reducing bloat include risk aversion, sunk costs, and cultural resistance to change. The author encourages testers to evaluate which test cases still provide value and to continuously refine test suites through pruning.
Efficient And Effective Test Design
Pairwise and Combinatorial testing can dramatically improve the efficiency and effectiveness of both test design (identifying and document what to test) as well as test execution (the process of executing the test cases).
This presentation, by Justin Hunter, the founder of Hexawise, to members of TISQA, explains how these methods work, highlights empirical evidence that shows this method has been proven to more than double the number of defects found per tester hour in ten separate projects, and highlights a case study of a recent user of the Hexawise test design tool.
Pairwise testing
In computer science, all-pairs testing or pairwise testing is a combinatorial method of software testing that, for each pair of input parameters to a system (typically, a software algorithm), tests all possible discrete combinations of those parameters.

Storyboard data combination_test
The document describes the process for testing the combination of data in a data combination test. It involves identifying test situations by determining data attributes and equivalence classes, creating logical test cases to cover all combinations, and creating physical test cases with specific data values to test the different combinations.
Orthogonal array
This presentation introduces orthogonal array testing (OATS), which is a systematic statistical method for testing all pair-wise interactions using fewer test cases. It discusses the terminology, advantages, and disadvantages of OATS. Specifically, OATS allows testing all combinations of variables more efficiently than exhaustive testing. It guarantees coverage of all pair-wise combinations using an orthogonal array with far fewer runs than would be required for conventional testing. However, it may miss some higher-order combinations and can be difficult to construct.
Common test techniques
The document discusses different common test techniques used to elicit behavior and evaluate ability, including their advantages and disadvantages. Multiple choice items are reliable for scoring but only test recognition knowledge and allow for guessing. Short answer items are less prone to guessing but require producing language and involve more subjective scoring. Gap filling items evaluate vocabulary and grammar but require individual judgment in scoring.
Test techniques
This document provides guidelines for teachers on developing different types of test items, including selected-response items, constructed-response items, and guidelines for avoiding common testing issues. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of selected-response items versus constructed-response items. Guidelines are provided for creating clear stems, alternatives, statements for different item types while avoiding patterns, clues, or other issues. Common testing problems are also outlined such as tests being too easy or difficult, insufficient items, redundancy, lack of measures or piloting.
01 software test engineering (manual testing)
The document discusses various topics related to manual software testing, including:
1. The software development life cycle and where testing fits in.
2. Different testing methodologies like black box, white box, and grey box testing.
3. The different levels of testing from unit to system level.
4. Types of testing like regression, compatibility, security, and performance testing.
5. The software testing life cycle process including test planning, development, execution and reporting.
Testing techniques
The document discusses various software testing techniques including black box testing, white box testing, and grey box testing. It provides details on specific techniques such as equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, statement coverage, condition coverage, function coverage, and cyclomatic complexity. The objective is to understand these techniques so they can be used effectively to test applications and find defects.
Testing artifacts test cases
The document provides an introduction to software testing fundamentals and artifacts. It discusses test cases, test specifications, test planning, and test execution. Test cases are defined as a set of test inputs, execution conditions, and expected results to test a specific objective. Good test cases should be reasonable, exercise areas of interest, and make failures obvious. The document outlines steps for creating test cases such as breaking the application into testable modules, writing checklists, adding questions, and getting reviews from other testers and developers.
Testing Techniques for Mobile Applications
With the fantastic growth of mobile computing platforms such as the iPhone, Blackberry,Symbian, J2ME, Windows Mobile and Android environments, there has been a dramatic increase in the value of mobile applications for most companies.
However, one of the biggest challenges that one faces when developing a mobile application is how to test it. Testing Mobile applications is a very intricate and arduous undertaking. There are an enormous number of factors to consider for mobile computing which simply aren’t present for desktop or web development, including hardware/software platforms, installation the application, network type, network strength, memory & battery consumption, external interfacing through WAP and HTTP etc. Additionally, testing the application in simulator, using various debugging tools are some further adventures which the tester undergoes during testing cycles.
With a blend of these challenges as the core of the address, we would be presenting our experience from our product development cycles
