Generating test cases for augmented reality (AR) application testing is disclosed. In one embodiment, an AR computing device constructs a virtual object hierarchy comprising a plurality of nodes corresponding to a plurality of virtual objects of a test AR environment. The AR computing device next generates an event-flow graph based on the virtual object hierarchy, wherein the event-flow graph comprises a directed graph comprising a plurality of vertices, wherein each vertex corresponds to an event supported by a virtual object of the plurality of virtual objects, and a plurality of edges, wherein each edge connects two (2) vertices of the plurality of vertices. The AR computing device then identifies a plurality of paths based on the event-flow graph, wherein each path comprises one or more edges of the plurality of edges. The paths are then stored as a plurality of test cases (e.g., for use as input during subsequent testing).
