Manage Requirements

In Testsigma, you can map each test case to a specific requirement, allowing for a more organized approach to testing. This ensures that every software requirement is effectively addressed and improves test coverage.

According to IEEE standard 729, a requirement is defined as follows:

• A condition or capability needed by a user to solve a problem or achieve an objective
• A condition or capability that must be met or possessed by a system or system component to satisfy a contract, standard, specification or other formally imposed documents
• A documented representation of a condition or capability as in 1 and 2

A software requirement can be of 3 types:

• Functional requirements
• Non-functional requirements
• Domain requirements
