The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A survey of combinatorial testing (2011, methodology): “They used covering array to detect option-related defects and gave fault characterization in complex configuration spaces using the classification tree analysis [Yilmaz et al. 2006].”
Combinatorial aspects of covering arrays (2006, methodology): “Testing methods have striven to develop adequate models [43], [55], [63], [102], [110], [126], develop appropriate coverage measures [12], [136], relate coverage to reliability and fault detection [42], [68], [75], [84], [137], and develop automatic test generators [10], [44], [72], [113].”
Constructing Interaction Test Suites for Highly-Configurable Systems in the Presence of Constraints: A Greedy Approach (2008, background): “A single test case may run without failing under one configuration, however, the same test case may fail under a different configuration [3], [4].”
An orchestrated survey of methodologies for automated software test case generation (2013, methodology): “More recent work samples configurations to be tested (under which many test cases will be run) (Qu et al., 2008; Yilmaz et al., 2006; Kuhn et al., 2004; Kuhn and Okun, 2006; Fouché et al., 2009; Dumlu et al., 2011).”
