During any system's development life cycle, software testing is considered an important and key phase. Even so, the testing phase is commonly the first phase to be removed when time and resources constraints are faced due to its high consumption of recourses. As a result, developers waste their time and effort on developing software that is either filled with bugs or mismatches user specifications. The excessive work and time spent to program and execute a test case takes approximately 70% of a project's resources. The goal of this work is to produce a practical implementation of the extreme programming as a software development methodology that focuses on generating test cases from the design information before initiating the coding phase. Furthermore, a competent testing tool is built to employ the available information in the related design diagrams, Class and State diagram, wherein it automatically generates transition sequences to test any software system. The proposed tool can reduce the time, cost, and human resources used to test or redesign the system when it mismatches user specifications and requirements.
