StrengthGroup (de.rwth.swc.coffee4j:coffee4j-aggregate 1.0.8 API)

java.lang.Object
- de.rwth.swc.coffee4j.engine.configuration.model.StrengthGroup

```
public class StrengthGroup
extends Object
```
Represents a group of parameters which should be tested at a given higher strength than the rest of the parameters in the model.
This concept is in general called mixed-strength combinatorial testing where there is a defined default testing strength and a number of parameter groups which deviate from this default strength. Such a mechanism is useful to model multiple subsystems in a combinatorial test without increasing the testing strength between the subsystems unnecessarily. Additionally, parameters which are prone to appear in failure-causing combinations can be tested at a higher strength to increase confidence.
