Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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?

Challenge 2 Hard

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.
