# How to Generate Test Cases

In this documentation article, learn how to generate test cases in Quality Modeller.

Test Cases are equivalent to paths through the Model of a system under test. They are generated automatically from a model, with or without test data and test automation associated with them. Quality Modeller has coverage techniques using advanced algorithms to generate the smallest set of test cases needed to test given features with a required level of rigour.

To generate test cases, navigate to the **Test Generation** tab of the menu and click **Generate**.

Quality Modeller will provide status updates as the tests are generated:

Click **Close** when the status is reported as "Complete".

## Common Errors

**No end nodes present**- This error generates when the paths do not lead to an end point. Place an end action into the model and link your model to it to fix this error.

Quality Modeller is Curiosity's flow-driven model-based tool which provides a range of accelerators and connectors for building flowcharts rapidly. Align all stakeholders to quality outcomes and create critical assets early, delivering superior software at speed.

A Model is a canvas and the Flow that is built onto it. There are several types of Model, some of which display different tabs and tools on the toolbar in Quality Modeller.
