1. A method for assisting a user in modifying a test plan, the method comprising: obtaining the test plan, wherein the test plan comprises tuples of values of variables of a coverage model, wherein each tuple represents a test in the test plan; determining, using a processor, a first set of one or more coverage holes in the test plan with respect to the coverage model and with respect to an interaction level, wherein each coverage hole is defined by a combination of values that are not covered by the test plan; and providing a graphical user interface to the user, wherein the graphical user interface comprises a graphical display window visually displaying together a first windowpane and a second windowpane, wherein the first windowpane visually displays the test plan and the second windowpane visually displaying the first set of one or more coverage holes, and in response to the user interacting with the first windowpane of the graphical user interface and indicating an update to the test plan, determining a second set of one or more coverage holes in the modified test plan and continuously and immediately updating the second windowpane of the graphical user interface to visually display the second set of one or more coverage holes in the second windowpane instead of the first set of one or more coverage holes.
