A method for detecting and localizing a fault in a system under test (SUT) includes generating an initial set of test vectors that provides complete n-wise coverage of the reduced test space. The method further includes generating an initial set of test cases from the initial set of test vectors and executing the initial set of test cases. The method further includes generating a set of new test cases from a selected failing test case, wherein generating the set of new test cases comprises generating, in relation to each attribute in the selected failing test case, a respective subset of new test cases at least in part by changing a respective attribute value for the attribute in the selected failing test case to each other candidate attribute value for the attribute that is not present in any of the one or more test cases that failed execution.
