Some applications seem untestable because they are slow to run, with too many options. One approach chooses tests carefully using an optimization algorithm to find the smallest set of tests that are likely to exercise all the parts of the code. In this talk, we introduce the UnitTestDesign.jl package for combinatorial testing and show how it integrates with Julia's test framework using Julia's system of artifacts and scratch spaces.
