This exercise is intended to show how constraints on factors could lead to the partitioning of the test configuration problem into two or more simpler problems that are solved independently using the same algorithm. (a) Design test configurations for testing the AGTCS application described in Example 6.17. Use the PDMOLS procedure to arrive at two sets of test configurations, one for the PC and the other for the Mac. Note that the PDMOLS procedure is to be applied on two sets of factors, one related to the PC and the other to the Mac. (b) Compare the test configurations derived in (a) with those derived in Example 6.17 in terms of their impact on the test process for AGTCS.
