Systems and Methods for State Based Test Case Generation for Software Validation

Systems and methods for state based test case generation for software validation are disclosed. One embodiment includes determining a first input and a first input type for a program block of vehicle software for creating a test case, wherein the first input type includes a state based input, determining permutations of values for the first input, based on the first input type, and running the test case with the state based input, wherein running the test case comprises applying the permutations of values for the first input to the program block. Some embodiments include determining, by a test computing device, whether the test case meets a predetermined level of modified condition/decision coverage (MC/DC) and providing an indication of whether the test case meets the predetermined level of MC/DC.
