Coverage & Traceability

These tabs answer “is my work actually being tested?”.

Coverage

Lists your requirement work items (the types chosen in setup) and whether each has a Test Case linked. Gaps are the untested requirements.

The chips at the top count the whole project. Covering tests is how many cases are linked to that requirement, and the status beside it is the verdict: uncovered when no case is linked, failing when one of the linked cases last ran as a fail, and covered otherwise.

Traceability

Shows the full chain — requirement → Test Case → most-recent Execution result — so you can trace any story down to evidence it passed, or a defect back to the test that caught it.

One row per link, so a requirement with five tests appears five times, once per test. Bugs lists the defects raised against that test, which is the way back from a broken requirement to the work already open on it.

Note

Which Jira types count as “requirements” is configured in Space settings → Requirement sources.
