Abstract:
1. A method of generating an orthogonal array (OA) of test cases for testing a system comprising: accepting a user input in a first format, the user input including multiple factors and multiple levels associated with the system; processing the user input by transforming the user input from the first format into a second format, and by sorting the multiple levels from the transformed user input in a descending order; accessing a reference table to determine a set of parameters based on the user input for testing each level of a factor against all levels of all other factors in the system; and performing a predetermined number of iterations on the processed user input based on the set of parameters to generate the OA of the test cases, wherein the OA includes combinations of the multiple factors and the multiple levels required for testing pair-wise interactions between the multiple levels and the multiple factors, wherein generating the OA of the test cases includes:
