# Test Coverage Page

This page enables you to view the tests that are covering a selected requirement in the requirements tree.

To access | In the Requirements module, select the Requirement Details view. Select a requirement and click the Test Coverage tab.
Important information | Test coverage is created automatically when you generate a test from a requirement. Therefore, even if you have not yet added test coverage, it may already exist. For details, see Convert to Tests Wizard The following requirement types are set so that, by default, you cannot add coverage to them: Business, Folder, and Group. To enable you to add coverage, you must enable test coverage for these requirement types. For details, see the Micro Focus Application Lifecycle Management Administrator Guide: Customizing Project Requirement Types.
