Abstract
A solution for facilitating the test of a command line interface (CLI) of a software product is proposed. A first phase of a process generates a scenarios matrix. Each command of the CLI is defined with its arguments and the corresponding properties; the test activity is defined by specifying a desired accuracy level of the test process. The scenarios matrix can then be generated automatically, by selecting (according to the desired accuracy level) predefined rules specifying happy paths and errors cases for each property. A second phase generates corresponding test cases. An expected result is associated with each test scenario in the respective matrix. This allows creating a test document for the manual execution of the test process and/or a bucket for its automatic execution by an automation tool.
