What tools do you use for generating test cases? I guess that might depend on the coding language but it’d be good to put together a list of recommended tools for members to refer to.
Most important tool: the grey matter between your ears. Tools typically generate test cases either based on the code (which can be wrong – that is why we test it) or on the requirements or other documentation (which can and will miss most of the technically interesting stuff). So you can use test case generation tools for specific and limited goals but the most important tool is still your brain.

Ha! Love it. I’ve heard someone say recently that a fool with a tool is still a fool.
So is it likely then that you might use more than one test case generation tool on the same project?
@paul-madden Actually I tend to avoid tools except for technical stuff like mutational testing (PIT), code quality checking (Sonar), and some security tools to see if the most basic security rules are not broken. Sometimes I use tools to check if upstream code has known vulnerabilities so we can sanitize our dependencies.
But test case generation is mostly me and someone with great business knowledge writing Gherkin scenarios.Model based testing (and development) sound great but I have not yet seen it working on any scale or complexity to speak off.
On some of our projects BAs are writing the scenarios and use cases in Cucumber format (Given, When, Then). And having this format helps us ‘re-use’ these feature files as a base for testing (both manual and automated)

We use Kualitee for our Test Scenario and Test Cases creation. The re-usability of test cases is quite an help.
There is a list of quite a few tools here:

I’m using https://www.katalon.com/ that is built on top of the most popular test automation frameworks Selenium and Appium.
Katalon Studio uses Apache Groovy, a scripting language for the Java platform. Groovy is a powerful dynamic language, which is ideal for creating test scripts. For test execution, Java libraries and Java compatible languages like JRuby and Jython are supported. Let’s try
