Title
Generating Covering Arrays with Pseudo-Boolean Constraint Solving and Balancing Heuristic.
Abstract
Covering arrays (CAs) are interesting objects in combinatorics and they also play an important role in software testing. It is a challenging task to generate small CAs automatically and efficiently. In this paper, we propose a new approach which generates a CA column by column. A kind of balancing heuristic is adopted to guide the searching procedure. At each step (column extension), some pseudo Boolean constraints are generated and solved by a PBO solver. A prototype tool is implemented, which turns out to be able to find smaller CAs than other tools, for some cases.
