Aliasing

Aliasing is a way of specifying multiple names for a single value. Multiple names do not change the combinatorial complexity of the model. No matter how many names a value has, they are treated as one entity. The only difference will be in the output; any test case that would normally have that one value will have one of its names instead. Names are rotated among the test cases.

info

Read PICT documentation to get more information about aliasing.

There is a special function alias that can be used to create aliases for values. It can be used with both the pict and strings API functions.

import { pict, alias } from "pict-node";

const model = [
  {
    key: "os",
    values: ["Win7", "Win8", alias(["Win10", "Windows10"])],
  },
  {
    key: "platform",
    values: ["x86", "x64", "arm"],
  },
  {
    key: "ram",
    values: [1, 4, 64],
  },
];

const cases = await pict({ model });
