Creating requirements

Create a requirement in Test Manager to define what your test cases must cover.

Add a requirement manually from the Requirements page under the Test Design menu, with a name, an optional rich-text description, and optional object labels.

Context

Specialized requirements management tools commonly manage requirements like user stories, epics, or other artifacts. Test Manager supports the synchronization of requirements from external tools as well as the creation of requirements from within Test Manager. In a Test Manager project, there can be requirements that are synced from external tools as well as requirements that were created in Test Manager.

Steps

1. In the Test Design menu, navigate to the Requirements page.

   

2. Select Create Requirement. The Create Requirement window is displayed.

3. Fill in the fields accordingly:

   • Name - The name for your requirement.
   • Description - (Optional) Add and format a description using the rich-text editor.
   • Optionally, add any number of object labels.

4. Select Create.

Result

Your new requirement is displayed in the Requirements page.
