5.1 - Why Pairwise Testing is So Important (The '2-Problem')

Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is combinatorial explosion and its impact on testing?

💡 Hint: Think of how many combinations you would have with just a few variables.

Question 2

Question 1

What is the main purpose of Pairwise Testing?

  • To test every combination of parameters
  • To ensure coverage of critical pairs of parameters
  • To conduct user acceptance testing

💡 Hint: Think about how many tests can really be run efficiently.

Question 2

True or False: Pairwise Testing guarantees detection of all bugs caused by multiple interactions.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how many parameters are actually tested.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a software application with three parameters: Color (Red, Blue, Green), Size (Small, Medium, Large), and Shape (Circle, Square), list how many tests would be needed if you were to exhaustively test all combinations and how Pairwise Testing would limit that number of tests.

💡 Hint: Set the stage: how many combinations does each parameter present?

Question 2

If a bug is known to occur only when the Color is 'Red' and the Size is 'Large', describe how Pairwise Testing would help improve your test coverage in detecting this bug and minimizing wastage in other tests.

💡 Hint: Focus only on the interactions that are essential for catching this bug.
