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?

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
