摘要：

A method for constructing pair-wise covering designs for software testing was investigated using algebraic method for generating pair-wise testcases for software systems. The proposed construction works effectively even when parameters has different number of values. The results show that the construction of the pair-wise covering design outperforms the heuristic search-based approach.
