Beyond Requirement-Based Testing

Traditional test cases depend on requirements.
AI agents create test cases directly from logic.


How the AI Agent Thinks

It looks for:

  • Conditionals (if, switch)

  • Loops

  • Validations

  • Exception paths

  • Boundary values


Generated Test Case Types

  • Positive scenarios

  • Negative scenarios

  • Boundary tests

  • Null & empty cases

  • Security & misuse cases


Cursor-Based Flow

  1. Highlight function

  2. Ask:

    “Generate exhaustive test cases for this logic”

  3. Output as:

    • Excel-style markdown

    • Gherkin scenarios

    • JSON test data


Outcome

  • Higher coverage

  • Fewer missed edge cases

  • Faster test design
