ABSTRACT:
A method for testing software includes the steps of creating a software program using a software development program executing on a first computer; the first computer generating a source code file from the software program for testing; receiving the source code file by a second computer, the second computer executing a test generation program that is independent of the software development program; and executing the test generation program to generate a test file from the source code file.
