Generating testcases based on numbers of testcases previously generated

A signal-bearing medium encoded with instructions, wherein the instructions when executed comprise:

• receiving a plurality of elements and a plurality of respective goals for each of the elements;
• generating a plurality of testcases based on the plurality of elements, wherein each of the plurality of elements has a number of the testcases less than their respective goal;
• determining whether the numbers of testcases are equally distant from their respective goals;
• and
• choosing a first element of the plurality of elements at random and generating a new testcase based on the first element if the determining is true.

A method for configuring a computer, comprising:

• configuring the computer to receive a plurality of elements and a plurality of respective goals for each of the elements;
• configuring the computer to generate a plurality of testcases based on the plurality of elements, wherein each of the plurality of elements has a number of the testcases less than their respective goal;
• configuring the computer to determine whether the numbers of testcases are equally distant from their respective goals;
• and
• configuring the computer to choose a first element of the plurality of elements at random and generate a new testcase based on the first element if the determining is true.
