-=== Constraints / Rules ===+==== Constraints / Rules ====
 When designing test data using combinatorial testing techniques, we often need to remove or avoid certain combinations as they are either unfeasible or unnecessary for whatever reason.  You can remove these unwanted combinations manually after the test combinations have been generated, but that's tedious and prone to errors. Depending on number of test combinations generated, manually removing unwanted combinations may even be impossible due to large volume. When designing test data using combinatorial testing techniques, we often need to remove or avoid certain combinations as they are either unfeasible or unnecessary for whatever reason.  You can remove these unwanted combinations manually after the test combinations have been generated, but that's tedious and prone to errors.
