An automated system that randomly generates test cases for use in hardware or software quality assurance testing, wherein a given test case comprises a sequence (or “chain”) of discrete, atomic steps (or “building blocks”). A particular test case (i.e., a given sequence) has a variable number of building blocks. The system takes a set of test actions (or even test cases) and links them together in a relevant and useful manner to create a much larger library of test cases or “chains.” The chains comprise a large number of random sequence tests that facilitate “chaos-like” or exploratory testing of the overall system under test. Upon execution in the system under test, the test case is considered successful (i.e., a pass) if each building block in the chain executes successfully; if any building block fails, the test case, in its entirety, is considered a failure. The system adapts and dynamically generates new test cases as underlying data changes (e.g., a building block is added, deleted, modified) or new test cases themselves are generated. The system also is tunable to generate test sequences that have a given (e.g., higher) likelihood of finding bugs or generating errors from which the testing entity can then assess the system operation. Generated chains can be replayed easily to provide test reproducibility.
