Draft From a Requirement

1 min read

To draft test cases for one requirement, open the generator from Repository and pick only that requirement.

There is no separate generator on the requirement page. The Repository generator does the same job, and it also shows you what that requirement is missing before anything is written.


  1. Open a project, go to Repository, and select the folder you want the test cases to go in.

  2. Select Draft test cases with Oracle (the sparkle icon in the action rail).

  3. Under Sources, pick the one requirement in Requirements.

  4. Add Additional context, or attach documents, if the requirement text alone is thin.

  5. Under Scope, pick how many scenarios to map and one or more focuses, such as Functional or Negative.

  6. Select Map coverage.

  7. Tick the scenarios you want, choose a Step format, and select Write test cases.

  8. Review the drafts, choose a destination folder, and add them.


The generator works from the requirement’s text, anything you add to the brief, and your project’s Canon documents unless you turn off Ground in Canon.

It also looks at the titles of test cases already linked to the requirement, so it suggests test cases you don’t have yet instead of repeating ones you do.

If nothing at all can be proposed for the requirement, the map tells you under Gaps: either the source doesn’t describe it, or it is already fully covered. See The coverage map.


Accepted test cases link back to the requirement automatically, so its coverage figures update as soon as they’re added. See Add them to the repository.
