Installation and use steps of PICT

PICT installation and use

PICT tool is a paired command line test case generation tool produced by Microsoft, which can be used to design test cases according to the principle of pairwise testing. All the parameters related to the test case need to be entered to achieve full coverage. Pairwise combination coverage was proposed by Mandl in 1985, and the results show that the coverage rate is more than 90%, but the number of pairwise combinations is too large in practical work, so PICT arises at the historic moment to solve this problem. The tool has been opened to the public and can be downloaded and used directly from the Internet.

After downloading, you can install it step by step according to the prompts.

Test usage examples:

Create a parameter Mytest.txt file under the PICT installation directory (D:\ install\ PICT). (colons and commas in txt files should be careful to use English characters. )

Windows opens the running window, type cmd to enter the command window; use the command d: transfer to d disk (the default is the desktop) enter the command: cd installation\ PICT to change the drive letter. Enter the command: pict Mytest.txt generates test cases

The resulting test cases can also be saved in the excel file for easy viewing and use. First create a new xls file Mytest.xls in the PICT directory, and then enter the command: pict Mytest.txt > Mytest.xls. The results are saved in the excel file.
