Presented by: James Bach, Satisfice, Inc.
NOTE: James will be presenting from Orcas Island and streaming live – you can catch it at our usual location at Quardev where we’ll be providing pizza and beverages as usual or access remotely.
Combinatorial testing is the process of testing the interactions between multiple variables in a system. But few testers know how to approach it systematically. I will talk about how to do that, touching on some of the mathematics while focusing mostly on the pragmatics. May also include information on Gray Code, de Bruijn sequences, and all-pairs coverage along the way.
