N-wise (pairwise) test case generation with the pypict library.
Combinatorial testing is one of the highest-ROI test techniques you're not using. This skill teaches Claude to model your inputs as parameter sets and generate pairwise (or N-wise) test cases via pypict — getting strong coverage with minimal cases.
متى تستخدمه: Feature has 4+ enum-ish parameters and exhaustive testing would explode.

الخطوات
Model
Use pypict skill: model checkout with payment_method=[card, paypal, applepay], shipping=[standard, express, intl], discount=[none, code, member], currency=[USD, EUR].✓ تم النسخ
→ Pict model + ~12 pairwise cases
Generate tests
Emit pytest tests from those cases against checkout().✓ تم النسخ
→ pytest file with parametrize
النتيجة: Real combinatorial coverage with ~12 cases instead of 81.

Pairwise misses higher-order bugs (3-way interactions). For safety-critical paths, use 3-wise. — Pairwise misses higher-order bugs (3-way interactions). For safety-critical paths, use 3-wise.
