20090287958METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TEST GENERATION FROM HYBRID DIAGRAMS WITH COMBINED DATA FLOW AND STATECHART NOTATION - A test generator and methods for generating tests from a hybrid diagram are provided. A hybrid diagram is a diagram that primarily uses one higher-level semantic notation with portions utilizing one or more secondary higher-level semantic notations.
