Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for refining a test plan is provided. The method comprises defining a coverage model including: one or more variables, wherein respective values for the variables are assigned, and one or more definitions for value combinations for said variables with assigned values, wherein zero or more of said value combinations are defined according to one or more restrictions for the purpose of generating a test plan to test a system for which the coverage model is constructed; determining zero or more uncovered value combinations in the test plan; and providing means to update the test plan.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 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 combina…
