Abstract: A method is provided for creating sequences for testing software created from data flow models and subjected to automatic test conditions by a data processing device and an executable test case generator software, whereby a test plan made up of individual test cases is generated by the test case generator software for the software to be tested. For each model block, test-relevant algorithms are implemented the form of a test case algorithm and a backward follow-up algorithm. In each test case, a value range for each of its input signals is assigned to a model block, by the test case algorithm. Each of such value ranges is followed up by means of the backward follow-up algorithm, in the system to be tested, through the individual blocks, up to the inputs of the system to be tested, and the results are checked and stored in memory.
