ABSTRACT:
A system and method provide for determining optimal input combinations useable in testing program code that includes user interface intensive workflows. Various embodiments provides for determining an input set corresponding to the target program code, determining mutually exclusive feature groups corresponding to the input set and determining a set of optimal input combinations corresponding to the feature groups. A more specific embodiment provides for determining the set of optimal input combinations in accordance with a linked or unlinked gear approach.
