This video provides practical tips for selecting appropriate test inputs for pairwise and combinatorial software test design.
Our experience shows as software testers begin to use pairwise test design strategies selecting the correct input parameters to test is often a bit of a struggle. This video will help testers get up to speed with designing pairwise software test plans effectively.

A basic introduction to pairwise software testing, designing a set of pairwise tests for a simplified banking application, and answering the following questions:
What is pairwise testing?
What challenges does pairwise testing solve?
How do pairwise software test design methods prioritize which specific test conditions are included in each of the tests in the plan?
What two aspects of pairwise test solutions don’t receive as much attention as they deserve? (Variability between tests, and front-loading of combinatorial coverage)
