Quality

Specification Studio

Requirements and acceptance criteria.

Overview

Specification Studio (Specifications area) centralizes requirements with metadata, versioning, and traceability to generated tests and coverage gaps. Upload PRDs, user stories, and compliance clauses for AI-assisted case generation.

Unmapped requirements surface in Coverage reports for audit-oriented release readiness.

Step-by-step procedure

Upload requirements

Quality → Specifications → Upload document or import from integration.

Tag requirements with IDs matching internal traceability matrix.

Review coverage map

Coverage → filter unmapped requirements.

Generate or link scenarios for gaps.

Version control

Create specification version on major PRD updates.

Re-run impact analysis for linked cases.

Preserve the meaning of the source requirement

Review the authoritative source for intended behavior, exceptions, dependencies, and acceptance criteria. Resolve ambiguous language with the requirement owner before relying on generated scenarios.

When an uploaded or AI-assisted representation changes wording, compare it with the source and record the accepted interpretation. A clearer sentence is not necessarily an equivalent requirement.

Trace a specification change into validation

Identify which tests and expected outcomes should change when a requirement changes. Review additions, removals, and modified assertions rather than assuming regeneration preserves the intended coverage.

Keep the source version, reviewer, and rationale for material changes with the specification. Use representative scenarios to verify that the updated interpretation still covers the important success and failure conditions.
