Abstract
Functional testing of application workflows is one of the most frequently used testing methods. To reduce test design effort and decrease a possibility of human mistake, it is suitable to support the process by an automated method. In this paper we present the PCTgen, solution, which is open and flexible, available for free to the test designer community and do not assume existence of UML design documentation of certain quality and consistency on the project. The PCTgen is bringing several innovative features as well as the possibility to interchange data with design and test management tools. Together with this solution, an algorithm for the generation of workflow test cases is introduced.
