Abstract
Generating pseudorandom test items for software testing of an Application Under Test (AUT) is provided. In one example, a method comprises selecting an oracle of one or more oracles within a test provider directory structure, the oracle defining one or more logical paths each comprising one or more test conditions and an expected result. A pseudorandom test item having an initial state of empty is generated, and a logical path of the one or more logical paths is selected. The one or more test conditions of the logical path are translated into a constraint. Based on the constraint, a pseudorandom test input is generated and stored in the pseudorandom test item in association with the expected result corresponding to the logical path.
