Abstract: In general, in one aspect of the invention, the invention relates to a method and system for automatically developing software tests for a software program having source code written in an object-oriented programming language. Computer implemented instructions are stored collectively within the at least one storage device which when executed, perform a method. The method includes determining at least one class present within the source code and identifying a method associated with the class, the method having at least one characteristic. The at least one characteristic includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a category and a number of arguments. The method further includes matching a test template to the method based on the method category and the number of arguments, resulting in a matched template, and generating a test based on the matched template and the method.
