Abstract

Combinatorial testing is a practical method to test software with multiple input parameters. National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed tools which aid combinatorial testing. ACTS is one such tool which is freely available to users. In spite of this, very few software being developed are being tested systematically. In this paper we explore the effectiveness and suitability of ACTS tool to test software which has a m ultiparameter input. We chose a Java based software, College Time Table, a software which involves multiparameter input, as system under test. We could achieve 90% coverage of instructions, line, method and 100% class coverage with practical time and effort with ACTS tool. The process involved in getting above mentioned results is documented in this paper. Empirical data generated with the code coverage confirms the effectiveness of ACTS generated test suite for a simple project.
