      Abstract
      Fitnesse and FIT [5] allow systems tests to be written by non-programmers using a Wiki or HTML style of input. However, there is little support for syntactic and semantic checks as the tests are being designed. This paper describes a support tool for designing table-based test cases that gives deep semantic analysis about a set of test cases. It uses a variety of strategies such as pairwise analysis, boundary value analysis and test case subsumption to suggest missing test cases and to generalise concrete tests into more abstract tests. The goal is to interactively improve the quality of test suites during the test design phase.
