Test Case Management
Test Cases Linked to Requirements from the Start
Create manual and automated test cases alongside requirements, with traceability built in from day one.
- Built-in traceability: Link each test to the requirement it covers, verifies, or validates.
- Manual and UAT testing: Create step-by-step sessions alongside automated suites.
- Reusable test catalogs: Reuse approved tests across variants and releases.
Test Execution & Defect Tracking
Run Tests and Capture Defects in One Place
Execute test sessions, record results, and create defects directly from failed steps.
- Automatic defect context: Include the test case, failed step, and run details automatically.
- Live dashboards: Track passed, failed, blocked, and skipped tests by project or feature.
- Compliance-ready reports: Generate execution evidence for reviews and submissions.
Test Traceability & Coverage Reports
Export Your Traceability Matrix! Don’t Rebuild It
Identify coverage gaps and tests affected by change without manually reconstructing traceability before an audit.
- Automatic gap detection: Flag requirements without linked test cases.
- Targeted alerts: Notify owners when coverage is missing or a linked test fails.
- One-click exports: Produce evidence for DO-178C, ISO 26262, IEC 62304, and more.
Test Levels & the V-Model
Map Testing to Every Development Stage
Connect each verification and validation activity to the requirement or design stage it supports.
- Clear V&V intent: Distinguish verification tests from validation tests.
- Every test level: Trace unit, component, system, and acceptance testing.

AI Test Case Generation
Generate Test Cases in Minutes, Not Days
Turn requirements into structured, traceable test drafts while keeping engineers in control. Every AI-authored draft remains in Pending Review until it is reviewed, linked, and approved.
Increase in test coverage, in half the time
- Faster authoring: Generate consistent test drafts directly from requirements.
- Earlier gap detection: Surface ambiguous requirements and missing coverage sooner.
- Governed by design: Preserve traceability and human approval before baselining.
