10 Minute Guide to Orthogonal Array Test Strategy

By Rajeev Nair Raman

In my Testing career, I have come across many scenarios where my team faced time crunches during their Integration / Regression testing effort. After searching for options to increase test coverage and reduce test count, I came across the OATS technique (not a tool like some think!). I found it very effective in creating a comprehensive test suite, covering most of the variations in test paths with minimal test scenarios.
I have been reaping the benefit of OATS technique ever since. This Book is an attempt at sharing this knowledge in a simple manner. The Book does not deep dive into generation of orthogonal arrays, but explores its application in software testing (System Integration Testing in specific).
OATS technique has widespread usage and is not limited to Software testing alone.
Hope this book helps you in making your test bed / scenarios comprehensive and crisp.

Happy Reading!
