SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TEST DATA GENERATION AND OPTIMIZATION FOR DATA DRIVEN TESTING

A system, medium and method for automatically generating test data to be applied to test a target software code is disclosed. Input parameter data is received from a user via a displayed user interface, wherein the input parameter data is directed to a user selected data type, the data type being a Boolean, string, or integer. One or more preestablished stored testing algorithms is automatically selected based on the user selected data type and one or more values are applied to the selected one or more preestablished stored testing algorithms in accordance with the user selected data type. At least one set of test data from the one or more identified applicable testing algorithms is automatically generated, wherein the at least one set of test data generated from the identified testing algorithms can be used as inputs for testing the target software code.
