SA4LA

SA4LA is a tool that uses simulated annealing to obtain (\overline{1},t)-locating arrays.

Combinatorial testing usually uses covering arrays as test suites. Locating arrays are basically an extention of covering arrays. An added value of locating arrays is that they can not only detect the existence of a faulty interaction but can identify it.

Usage
