Abstract
A method, system and computer program product, the method comprising: receiving a partial description of a combinatorial model defining a test space and comprising a set of attributes, a respective domain for each attribute defining possible values for the attribute, and restrictions, each comprising an attribute, a respective value and a logical operator, the partial description comprising an attribute and a value thereof; computing a similarity measurement between the partial description and each model in a corpus, based on similarity of attributes and domains, and not on a test space defined by compared models, whereby similarity between models is indifferent to a size of the test space of the models; selecting models from the corpus according to the computed similarity measurements; determining elements from the selected models to be suggested for modifying the partial description; and outputting the suggestions to modify the partial description useful for completing the combinatorial model.
