Aumenting a Test Suite for Parameter Value Weighting

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In this paper, we propose a weighting method for pair-wise testing.
Pair-wise testing is a software testing strategy that tests every pair
of parameter values at least once. Weighting allows the tester to
specify desired frequency of occurrence in a test suite for each
parameter value. Pair-wise testing is a widely used testing practice
because of its effectiveness in finding faults in software. Weighting
makes this strategy more effective by allowing the tester more control
over the resulting test suite. However, there is not much research on
weighting. To our knowledge PICT is the only publicly available
pair-wise testing tool that supports weighting; but it has two drawbacks:
First, weights are treated as priority, rather than specific frequency.
Second, weighting effectively works only when weighted parameters have a
relatively small domain of values. The proposed method aims to overcome
these problems. The method works in two steps. First it generates a test
suit of pair-wise testing and then expends it by adding test cases to
reflect given weights. We implement the method in our testing tool and
show some results to demonstrate how test suites generated by this tool
satisfy given weights.
