Would you mind elaborating on that point? At a previous job, I worked on a corporate banking application that had numerous configuration settings. Thousands of companies used the application. It was impractical to test the application with every possible configuration vector (i.e. every combination of configuration settings), or even for every set of configuration vectors that were actually in use. It was a challenge to decide which configuration vectors to test against.
