Abstract
This paper extends previous works about the automatic generation of test cases. The start point id the Category -Partition method and the extended use case pattern. This paper describes the automatism of both techniques and extends them to manage loops in use cases.

Automatic tiling of iterative stencil loops
Iterative stencil loops are used in scientific programs to implement relaxation methods for numerical simulation and signal processing. Such loops iteratively modify the same array elements over different time steps, which presents opportunities for the ...
