  <dc:title>Creating Covering Arrays</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package CAs version 0.24-3</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Implements covering arrays, as proposed in 
    Groemping (2025) &lt;doi:10.1109/ICSTW64639.2025.10962463&gt;. 
    Uniform and mixed-level covering arrays are created and 
    can be assessed for their coverage properties. 
    The mathematical background of the constructions is provided 
    in the technical reports Groemping (2026) 
    &lt;https://www1.bht-berlin.de/FB_II/reports/Report-2026-001.pdf&gt; 
    for the uniform arrays and Groemping (2025) 
    &lt;https://www1.bht-berlin.de/FB_II/reports/Report-2025-001.pdf&gt; 
    for the mixed-level constructions. The post-processing method 
    by Nayeri, Colbourn, and Konjevod (2013) 
    &lt;doi:10.1016/j.ejc.2012.07.017&gt; is also 
    provided. In addition, there are preliminary tools for the 
    creation of sequence covering arrays.</dc:description>
