Generating Small Combinatorial Test Suites to Cover Input-Output Relationships
In this paper, we consider a problem that arises in black box testing: generating small test suites (i.e., sets of test cases) where the combinations that have to be covered are s...

Better approximation algorithms for bin covering
Bin covering takes as input a list of items with sizes in (0 1) and places them into bins of unit demand so as to maximize the number of bins whose demand is satis ed. This is in ...
