A system and method that improves the efficiency and accuracy of template selection process by applying machine learning to perform natural language processing (NLP) to automatically interpret the intent of the test scenarios and to match the intent of the test scenarios to appropriate test template(s). The system and method can use keyphrases and part-of-speech (POS) tokens to accurately capture the intent of test scenarios and templates. The system and method can additionally use machine learning to perform NLP to identify information from the test scenario(s) that relates to fields in templates to automatically fill in fields in the selected test template(s). In situations where the processing of the test scenario(s) does not provide all of the information necessary to fill every field of a template, the system and method can use machine learning to perform NLP to automatically create and execute a search statement to find the missing information related to empty fields in an application database.
