Abstract
A device may obtain text to be processed to extract constraints corresponding to an object in the text. The constraints may define values permitted to be associated with the object. The device may extract the constraints based on identifying patterns in the text. The device may generate, based on the constraints, positive test data and negative test data for testing values for the object. The positive test data may include a first value that satisfies each of the constraints, and the negative test data may include a second value that violates at least one of the constraints. The device may provide information that identifies the positive test data and the negative test data.
