4.7.1 SHORTCOMINGS OF USING MOLS FOR TEST DESIGN
While the approach of using MOLS to develop test configurations has
been used in practice, it has its shortcomings as enumerated below:
1. A sufficient number of MOLS might not exist for the problem at
hand.
As an illustration, in Example 4.17, we needed only two MOLS of
order 4 that do exist. However, if the number of factors increases,
to say 6, without any change in the value of k = 4, then we would
be short by one MOLS as there exist only three MOLS of order 4.
As mentioned earlier in Step 5 in Procedure PDMOLS, the lack of
sufficient MOLS is compensated by randomizing the generation
of columns for the remaining factors.
2. While the MOLS approach assists with ...
