What is a requirement?

Requirements define the behavior of the application in broad strokes and are usually outlined by the product manager. The requirements’ main purpose is to make sure everything the application is supposed to be doing is covered in the testing process.

AI-Powered Test Creation

AI-Powered Test Creation allows you to generate well-structured test cases directly from your requirements.
By analyzing user stories, acceptance criteria, etc., the AI proposes relevant test cases with steps, expected results, and data hints. It also improves coverage by suggesting edge cases and negative flows that might otherwise be missed.
The generated tests can be edited, accepted as is, or regenerated, ensuring they fit seamlessly into your workflow.
This option is available from the requirement’s menu under the option “Generate AI Test.”

Running tests

You can run your tests directly from the Requirements screen. Hover a test and you’ll see the Run icon. You can also choose to assign the test (or multiple tests at once) to a tester in your team. While doing that, you’ll be able to also select a Lab, from the list of existing labs.
