Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods that help automate the generation of a test vector. Every functional product, be it a service, device, or combination thereof, has one or more documents associated with it. These documents may include such documentation as: (1) Release Notes; (2) Configuration Guides; (3) command line interfaces (CLIs)/application program interfaces (APIs); (4) Data Sheets; (5) Installation Guides; (6) User Manuals; (7) Errata notices; and (8) other documentation. In embodiments, command data-models and ranges and sequence of valid inputs to the data-model are extracted from natural language expressions in documentation related to a specific product. In embodiments, this extracted information is used to generate one or more table of attributes and properties or constraints about which a test vector may be generated for testing a command.
