Requirements

Requirements connect your tests to your business criteria. You define what needs to work, prioritize your requirements by risk, and Tosca Cloud shows you how well your test cases and playlists cover them.

Why requirements matter

For example, you're testing an insurance company's online quoting tool. The automobile quoting process handles most of the traffic: if it breaks, the business impact is significant. The motorcycle and truck processes matter too, but they carry less weight.

Tosca Cloud requirements let you model this. You create a structure of requirements that mirrors your business cases, and the weights you assign to requirements bring clarity to your test results. Instead of just seeing how many tests pass or fail, your test coverage data reflects the business risks.

Get started

Start by working with your stakeholders to identify the criteria your application must meet. Then, in Tosca Cloud, follow these steps:

1. Build a requirement structure that reflects your business criteria.

2. Weight your requirements based on risk.

3. Link test cases and playlists to your requirements to track what's covered.

4. Monitor test runs and coverage to see which requirements are at risk.
