An aspect of the present invention generates test cases for functional testing of a software application. In one embodiment, rules specifying corresponding patterns in a natural language and corresponding templates are maintained. Each pattern contains corresponding variables and words of the natural language together in an ordered sequence. On receiving a design document containing statements in the natural language, a first statement is determined to match a first pattern specified in a first rule. A match is deemed to exist only if the words in the first pattern exist in the first statement in the same corresponding positions of the ordered sequence, and if the first statement also contains values for each of the variables specified in the first pattern. A set of test cases is generated based on a first template specified in the first rule and the values for each of the variables.
