Classification trees are a visual way of identifying test objects and data, and pairwise testing is a technique of generating test cases that cover all possible pairs of values from different classifications. Classification trees support pairwise testing by:

• Helping to identify inputs to be used by the pairwise test technique, as each class represents a possible value for a test parameter.
• Showing the combinations needed to cover all-pairs, as each test case is a selection of one class from each classification.
• Helping to identify particular combinations of interest, as the test engineer can use the tree structure to group or prioritize classes based on their relevance or risk. References = ISTQB Advanced Level Test Analyst Syllabus 2019, section 3.2.3; Smarter Test Design with Classification Trees and Pairwise Techniques, slides 6-12.
