# VSCode PICT

This extension generates pairwise test patterns using Microsoft PICT.

**Limitations:**

Currently, it works only on Microsoft Windows(x64), but we hope to support Mac and Linux in the future.

## How to use?

1. Open a new text editor and create a PICT model file as follows.

   ```

   #

   # This is a sample model for testing volume creation

   #

   Type:          Primary, Logical, Single, Span, Stripe, Mirror, RAID-5

   Size:          10, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000, 40000

   Format method: quick, slow

   File system:   FAT, FAT32, NTFS

   Cluster size:  512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536

   Compression:   on, off

   ```

2. If you would like to specify a parameter arguments for PICT, specify it as is in the header comment section `# Options`.

   ```

   #

   # This is a sample model for testing volume creation

   #

   # Options /o:2 /d:, /a:| /n:~ /r:1 /c

   Type:          Primary, Logical, Single, Span, Stripe, Mirror, RAID-5

   Size:          10, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10000, 40000

   Format method: quick, slow

   File system:   FAT, FAT32, NTFS

   Cluster size:  512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536

   Compression:   on, off

   ```

   The following parameters can be used.

   ```

   Usage: pict model [options]

   Options:

     /o:N|max - Order of combinations (default: 2)

     /d:C     - Separator for values  (default: ,)

     /a:C     - Separator for aliases (default: |)

     /n:C     - Negative value prefix (default: ~)

     /e:file  - File with seeding rows

     /r[:N]   - Randomize generation, N - seed

     /c       - Case-sensitive model evaluation

     /s       - Show model statistics

   ```

3. Save the created model file with a name of your choice, such as 'testcase_001.txt'.

4. Please Open command palette and run `Run PICT` command.
