System and method for efficient test case generation using input dependency information

A non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon instructions for providing an efficient test case generator module, comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one machine, causes the machine to:

• establish a test case project upon request from a user via a user interface to test an item, the test case project including a plurality of fields and corresponding designated values to be tested for the item;
• receive, via the user interface, a first set of identified fields of the plurality, wherein the first set includes two or more fields identified by the user as having a dependent relationship with at least one another;
• create a first relational field cluster for the first set of related fields and their associated values;
• perform a test case generation technique on the first relational field cluster to compute all possible test conditions among the two or more identified fields and their associated values in the first set;
• and
• display results of the computed test conditions for at least the two or more identified fields and their associated values of the first relational field cluster.

A computer system comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor operative to:
• establish a test case project upon request from a user via a user interface to test an item, the test case project including a plurality of fields and corresponding designated values to be tested for the item;
• receive, via the user interface, a first set of identified fields of the plurality, wherein the first set includes two or more fields identified by the user as having a dependent relationship with at least one another;
• create a first relational field cluster for first set of related fields and their associated values;
• perform a test case generation technique on the first relational field cluster to compute all possible test conditions among the two or more identified fields and their associated values in the first set;
• and
• display results of the computed test conditions for at least the two or more identified fields and their associated values of the first relational field cluster.
