PICT

Hi.

I am looking for some information about a microsoft product called PICT , It's an extention of allpairs - and generates test cases depends on variables.

I believe it is a freeware microsoft thing - but am having no success finding it on the site. Has anyone heard of it?

thanks Wendy

Philk10 gave some good links. They point to http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/5/5/f55484df-8494-48fa-8dbd-8c6f76cc014b/pict33.msi

You might also consider reading the paper "Pairwise Testing in Real World" if you are not familiar with pairwise.

thanks for all the links.... just one query, it worries me a bit that I cannot find any reference to it through searching the microsoft site. Can anyone verify that it is actually 'free for use'

if you download and install it you'll also find a useful help file with it

You can count on http://pairwise.org/tools.asp to serve an up-to-date link to PICT install package.

You can freely use this tool in your testing process. When you download and start installing, a short EULA will pop up and give you details.
