I used to use BattleMap; it's now been renamed since the company was sold, but it's still available. It generate test cases by doing branch path analysis of the code. This meant that the test code had 100% code coverage. 100%. BattleMap cost us $50,000 per workstation back in the early 90's. I have also seen a commercial network management and configuration design tool. That tool cost $250,000 for a 1 year license for one machine. You paid for the graph theory and the patents on the code. So yes, such tools exist.
