Abstract
A test driver generator is provided for generating test drivers. The test driver generator receives test expressions designating execution sequences of test functions of software interfaces and corresponding attribute value specifications for the designated test functions' parameter attributes. Each test expression designating a number of test functions to be executed in a certain sequence, and each corresponding attribute value specification specifies selected attribute values of the test functions' parameter attributes. For each test expression and corresponding attribute value specifications of a software interface, the test driver generator, in response, generates a test driver that can execute the specified test functions in the designated order with all combinations of the selected attribute values of the test functions' parameter attributes.
