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: Customize requirement types.
