Hexawise is a new test design tool available through a SaaS model. It helps users determine the most important options to test by covering all valid pairings of values in as few tests as possible and also creating thorough tests for combinations of 3 or more values. This approach provides objective coverage data to help determine when sufficient testing has been done. Using Hexawise has consistently delivered test design time savings of at least 30%, test execution time savings of at least 25%, and bug fixing cost reductions of at least 20%.

Hexawise Introduction
- 1. 3-minute introduction to Hexawise
- 2. Hexawise is a new test design tool. It is available through a SaaS (software as a service) model.
- 3. It solves this constant problem: There are way too many options to test every one. What should we test? ...884,736 possible tests x 5 options x 2 options x 2 options ...13,824 possible tests 6 browser choices x 2 options x 4 options x 2 options x 3 options x 4 options x 4 options x 2 options x 4 options x 2 options x 2 options = 884,736 possible tests... x 2 options x 2 options x 2 options x 4 options x 4 options x 2 options x 2 options x 3 options x 2 options x 2 options x 2 options x 2 options This single web page could be tested with = 13,824 possible tests... 72,477,573,120 possible tests
- 4. First, users input details of an application to be tested...
- 5. Next, users create tests that will cover interactions of every valid pair of values in as few tests as possible. (1) Browser = Opera tested with (2) View = Satellite? Covered. (1) Mode of Transport = Walk tested with (2) Show Photos = Y? Covered. (1) Avoid Toll Roads = Y tested with (2) Show Traf?c = Y (Live) ? Covered. (1) Browser = IE6 tested with (2) Distance in = KM and (3) Zoom in = Y ? That is a 3-way interaction. It might not be covered in these 35 tests. See next page.
- 6. It also creates more thorough tests for all combinations involving 3 values, as below, or 4, 5 or even 6 values. (1) Browser = IE6 tested with (2) Distance in = KM and (3) Zoom in = Y ? Covered. Any 3 valid values you can imagine? Yes, at least 1 of the 184 tests will cover all 3 together. If even higher quality is desired, all possible 4, 5, or 6-way interactions could be tested for.
- 7. One of the advantages of this approach is that it creates objective coverage data... % Coverage by Number of Tests 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 2 4 7 9 11 14 16 18 21 23 25 28
- 8. ... which is useful in determining How much testing is enough? and When is it appropriate to stop testing? If you found three defects in this test plans ?rst 50 tests, you would ?nd approximately one more defect in the next 200 tests. 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 175 200 225 250
- 9. The following bene?ts have been consistently delivered when teams have used Hexawise: Test Test Bug Design Execution Fixing Time Time Costs Faster by at least Faster by at least Lower by at least 30% 25% 20%
- 10. These bene?ts numbers are backed by objective data. We could help you con?rm them within a couple weeks.
