Create test coverage

Create test coverage by linking tests to requirements. In addition to covering requirements at the level of test, you can also cover requirements by test configurations.

Version 26.1 P1: The DISABLE_REQUIREMENT_TEST_COVERAGE site parameter can disable adding new test coverage from the Requirements module. When this parameter is enabled, the Select button in the Test Coverage tab is disabled and users cannot add new tests to requirement coverage. Existing coverage remains visible. For details on the parameter, see Site Parameters.

Coverage mode indicates whether a requirement is covered by selected test configurations or all test configurations of a test.

  • All Configurations. If a test, including all its test configurations, is added to coverage, the coverage mode is All Configurations.

  • Selected Configurations. If selected test configurations of a test are added to coverage, the coverage mode is Selected Configurations.
