Requirement Specification in Test Link

We have learnt about test specification now it’s time to move on with requirement specification. Test Link can save your entire requirement according to your test plan. It is explain all the requirement information about test project.

Tester can test whole project based on requirements and test cases also written on same bases. After execution of test cases , Test manager can verify the requirement specification and verify the all test cases which is executed successfully and decide that is that project should be go live or still some changes is require  or any  error is remain in development.

Test manger combines all the requirements and risk for a project and then verifies it as end user perspective. As in result we can get below advantages.
  1. If any requirement is missed in development then we can get it in early stage.
  2. User can focus on important thing only.
  3. We can create reports easily and get status of the project quickly.
  4. Test manager and client can verify all efforts by executing test cases and compare it with entered requirement. Risk can be observed too.


In this image, we can see that the requirement specification is defined in early stage.

First of all product have been defined afterwards we can move on next stage. The next stage is Test Specification and Test Requirements.

In Test specification all the test scenarios and test cases have been defined as per the Test requirement only. If more scenarios and test cases have been written there then Test manager can verify it and removed it in early stage.

Test Requirements are define in Requirement stage. As per the project build and development, requirement have been changes and updated. So this is very important for tester to understand each and every requirement and prepare test suit according to it.
