  • System for generating test scenarios and test conditions and expected results
    Patent number: 9262404
    Abstract: A requirements testing system facilitates the review and analysis of requirement statements for software applications. The requirements testing system automatically generates test artifacts from the requirement statements, including test scenarios, test conditions, test hints, and expected results.
