This paper introduces a new combinatorial configuration for describing locating arrays, effectively constructs locating arrays with prescribed properties, and obtains upper bounds on the size of locating arrays with small number of factors.
The use of locating arrays is motivated by the use of generating software test suites to locate interaction faults in component-based systems. In this paper, we introduce a new combinatorial configuration, with which a general combinatorial description of ((1) over bar, t)-locating arrays is presented. Based on this characterization, a number of locating arrays by means of SSOA and difference covering arrays with prescribed properties are constructed effectively. As a consequence, upper bounds on the size of locating arrays with small number of factors are then obtained.
