An automated software test is provided which includes a functional model of a system to be tested. The automated software test is utilized to operate a system under test in accordance with specified facts, goals and rules. Quasi-random actions are taken within the system in accordance with specified rules and facts until a defined goal has been accomplished. Training the automated software test is accomplished by specifying a particular goal, i.e. identifying a particularly known defect, and thereafter running the test in a quasi-random fashion until the particular goal has been achieved. The number and nature of actions required to achieve that goal are logged and the process is then repeated until the shortest path required to achieve that goal has been determined. The log of actions which eventually reach a particularly defect may also be utilized a probable cause tree structure for future analysis.
