More Information
Summary:Aspects of the present invention disclose a system, method and program for automatic generation of source code under test case. In an example, a computer determines whether references to source code under test can be located from a test case. The computer automatically generates boiler plate code required for the creation of source code under test, wherein each section of the source code under test is associated with each section of the test case that caused its generation. The computer analyzes one or more test case syntax clues to provide additional information to form the boiler plate source code under test for the test case. The computer generates source code under test based on the type of boiler plate required for the creation of source code under test and the provided syntax clues in the test case.
