Hi, I've been in QA/test automation for ~10years.

I created a test case generator tool that can generate test cases from combination of flowcharts and decision tables.

It works like this: 1. create flowchart representing logic of a feature you want to generate test cases for. When I was in college we used a tool called RAPTOR (https://raptor.martincarlisle.com/) in programming design class and wanted to implement something similar in my tool.

2. Flowchart's decision (diamonds) and 'process' (squares) shapes are converted into a decision table

3. Once decision table is ready, test cases can be generated based on combination of both: flowchart and decision table.

It also comes with a simple test runner- where test cases can be pulled in and then marked as passed/failed.

It's free currently.

I think it solves a problem that most QA people and perhaps developers have- inventing and maintaining test cases just takes too long and is a painful process. I aim at making it easier.
