Class Seed

java.lang.Object

de.rwth.swc.coffee4j.engine.configuration.model.Seed

public class Seed
extends Object

A representation of (partial) seed test cases.

A (partial) seed test case is a combination which is used as a base for constructing combinatorial test suites. For example, if some combinations greater than the testing strength t are so important that they must always be tested, a seed can be given to include it in the final test suite.

A (partial) seed test case is characterized by a given combination, the SeedMode and a priority. The priority should only be used relative to other seed priorities and should not be combined with the general combinatorial coverage criterion which must always be upheld. If a seed should have no priority, use NO_PRIORITY.
