Abstract
Testing is a critical component of modern software development. The pr oblem of designing a suite of test cases is superficially similar to t hat of designing an experiment to estimate main effects and interactio ns, but there are crucial differences. Additive models are unhelpful, and classical design criteria are also. We propose a new class of mode ls and new measures of effectiveness. We compare several designs.
