Test case generator requests are submitted using an HTML form. The request may have a title and names for the factors on the first lines. It contains at least one partition with at least one block of factor values lines.

In the Configuration Example the test system has five test factors with values as follows.

Test Factor	Number of Values	Test Factor Values
1. Operating system	2	WXP WME
2. Display resolution	3	low medium high
3. Connection	4	dial-up dsl cable lan
4. Browser	4	IE6 NS7 MZL1.5 IE5
5. Application	3	App1 App2 App3

The request for this example is shown below.

The first line names the request. Each of the next five lines labels the test factors of the system. The pound (#) character at the beginning of the seventh line indicates the start of a partition. The partition has one block, with a factor values line for each of the five factors.

If the partition had a second block, as in the Constraints Example, the request also would have a line beginning with the plus (+) character to indicate the start of a block, followed by five more factor values lines:

If the request had a second partition, it would follow the first, with a pound (#) at the beginning of the first line.
