Explanation
A test design tool is a tool that helps testers create test cases, or at least test inputs, based on the requirements and specifications of the software. It can use various techniques, such as equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, decision tables, state transition diagrams, etc., to generate test inputs that cover different aspects of the software functionality and quality. A test design tool does not validate models of the software, execute tests automatically, or trace tests to requirements, although these may be features of other types of testing tools.
