Generation of test data for systems having functionality subject to a grammar or other sort of meta-data is automated by a controlled combinatorial approximation of naïve combinatorial coverage. A suite of control mechanisms are applied to an algorithm that generates test data to provide well-defined and understandable approximations of full combinatorial coverage.
