Abstract

The present invention provides a method, system and computer program product for generating one or more functional test cases for testing a software application. One or more use-case activity diagrams are developed for the software application on the basis of a predefined set of rules. The consistency of the use-case activity diagrams is checked automatically. Further, the consistent use-case activity diagrams are validated with one or more users. Furthermore, the one or more functional test cases are generated automatically from the validated use-case activity diagrams.
