Matrix Testing is a systematic approach to evaluate combinations of input values or variables within a software system. This method ensures that all possible interactions between different inputs are tested.
Key Aspects:
- Combination Coverage: Tests all combinations of input values to identify potential issues.
- Structured Approach: Uses a matrix format to organise inputs and expected outcomes.
- Efficiency: Reduces redundancy by focusing on representative combinations rather than exhaustive testing.
This technique is particularly useful in complex systems where multiple variables interact in unpredictable ways. Matrix testing helps identify defects that may arise from specific combinations of inputs.
