The following steps describe how to create coverage by linking requirements to tests. Instead of covering each requirement only at the level of the test, you can cover a requirement by test configurations.
You can create coverage from the Requirements or the Test Plan module. It also describes how to examine the status of your requirements by understanding the breakdown of child requirements according to test coverage.
To learn more about creating coverage, see Requirement and Test Coverage Overview.
Note: This task is part of a higher-level task. For details, see How to Plan Tests in ALM.
