APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING MODEL REFERENCE TESTS

摘要

A test generation method and apparatus for generating an executable testcase from a high-level functional description that is generated from functional descr iption data relating to a target system. Provided is a computer system with a knowledge base stored on an electronic memory storage device. The knowledge base has a set of functional description data that relates to the target system on which a softwar e function is to be tested. Through a user interface, a high-level testcase request is made for a certain function of the target system. A testcase generation program accepts as an input argument the output file and generates an executable testcase based on the set o f functional description data maintained in the knowledge base.
