System and method for automatically categorizing test cases for model based testing

A system for automatically categorizing test cases, the system comprising:

• a memory storing programming instructions;
• a processor executing programming instructions stored in the memory;
• a test case importing module executed by the processor and configured to receive one or more test cases;
• a primary grouping module executed by the processor and configured to sort the one or more received test cases based on description of the one or more test cases into one or more groups and form a test case array connecting each of the one or more received test cases with a corresponding group number;
• a test step matrix generator executed by the processor and in communication with the test case importing module configured to:
• receive the one or more test cases;
• and
• analyze test steps corresponding to each of the one or more received test cases to create a test step matrix;
• a matrix concatenator executed by the processor and configured to concatenate the test case array with the test step matrix to generate a concatenated matrix;
• a secondary grouping module executed by the processor and configured to group the one or more received test cases by using the concatenated matrix and applying silhouette method and K-means algorithm to generate one or more groups of test cases belonging to one or more categories;
• and
• a subgrouping module executed by the processor and configured to create one or more subgroups of the generated one or more groups of test cases based on a preconfigured threshold value.

A computer program product for automatically categorizing test cases, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable program code stored thereon, the computer-readable program code comprising instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
• receive and sort one or more test cases based on description of the one or more test cases into one or more groups and forming a test case array connecting each of the one or more test cases with a corresponding group number;
• analyze test steps corresponding to each of the one or more received test cases to create a test step matrix;
• concatenate the test case array with the test step matrix to generate a concatenated matrix;
• group the one or more received test cases by using the concatenated matrix and applying silhouette method and K-means algorithm to generate one or more groups of test cases belonging to one or more categories;
• and
• create one or more subgroups of the generated one or more groups of test cases based on a preconfigured threshold value.
