ABSTRACT:
The method for generating test cases for a software program includes the step of setting a plurality of reference points in accordance with a sentence of the software program. The tracing pairs each including an initial test case as well as its adjacent vertex are set if one of them is among the reference points and the other one is not among the reference points. The essential test cases are chosen from the tracing pairs.
