Abstract
The testing of a series of commands is enhanced using a multilevel approach that employs orthogonal arrays within orthogonal arrays. Specifically, an Orthogonal Array (OA) is applied within each operation and then re-applied across the different operations. Thus, the process initially applies an OA to an intra-operation covering the different combinations of command parameters associated with an operation. The process applies an OA to an inter-operations OA covering the combinations of all command parameters.
