Abstract

A system and method for providing an efficient test case generator is disclosed. A test case project is established upon request from a user, via a user interface, to test an item. The test case project includes a plurality of fields and corresponding designated values to be tested. A first set of identified fields of the plurality are received, wherein the first set includes two or more fields identified by the user as having a dependent relationship with at least one another. A first relational field cluster for the first set of related fields and their values is created. A test case generation technique is performed on the first relational field cluster to compute all relevant test conditions for the first relation field cluster. Results of the computed test conditions for the first relational field cluster are displayed to the user via the user interface.
