Abstract
This thesis describes the implementation and optimization of an existing t-way strategy, called t-way generator. Implemented in Java, the current implementation of the t-way generator (which consists of an exhaustive combination algorithm, the binary selection algorithm and the t-way combination algorithm) appear bulky, redundant, and not optimized. In addition, the execution time takes a long time when simulating a large number of strength values. Addressing these issues, a new version of t-way generator, called t-way generator2, is developed in the Matlab environment. Unlike its predecessor, t-way generator2 offers modular implementation and lightweight computation. Four experiments have been conducted to compare and verify the correctness of implementation for t-way generator2. In doing so, some lessons learned and avenues for future work are also identified and cited.
