Abstract
A method and apparatus for generating test data is presented. A data generator produces data using element specifications contained in an input script. The data generator includes a specification analyzer and data synthesizer. The data generator produces the data that includes varied combinations of the element specification generated in a particular order. Both the combination and the particular order in the generated sequence may vary in accordance with a specified method of data generation. Three methods of data generation--carry-out method, grey code method, and all-change method--are described.
