Mechanisms¶
- Combinatorial Sampling Strategy
- So instead of guessing, they build a covering array: a set of ~35 configurations engineered so that every pair of settings (e.g. "EU-residency mode + Stripe gateway", "analytics plugin + Postgres backend") co-occurs in at least one tested configuration.
This sourceAETG pairwise coverage requires every valid pair of parameter values to occur in at least one generated test.

- Variation Rule Sheet
- Its failure mode is combinatorial: open too many variable dimensions with wide ranges and the number of legal combinations explodes
This sourceShows that varying many test parameters produces a combinatorial explosion in possible combinations.
- Its failure mode is combinatorial: open too many variable dimensions with wide ranges and the number of legal combinations explodes
