Calculation example for Coverage Specified (%)

This example takes you through the process of calculating Coverage Specified (%). The calculation is based on the Relative Weight and the WorkState of the linked TestCases.

To understand how Coverage Specified (%) is calculated, follow the steps below:

1. Create a new Requirement that contains four TestCase Links.

2. Weight the links with 4, 3, 2, and 1 as shown below:

Tricentis Tosca automatically calculates the Relative Weight.

3. Link three TestCases with the following WorkStates to the first three TestCase Links:

   • TestCase 1, PLANNED

   • TestCase 2, IN_WORK

   • TestCase 3, COMPLETED

To determine the Coverage Specified (%), Tricentis Tosca multiplies the Relative Weights by the TestCase WorkStates as follows:

TestCase Name	Relative Weight	WorkState	Coverage
TestCase 1	40%	PLANNED = 0.2	0.4*0.2 = .08
TestCase 2	30%	IN_WORK = 0.5	0.3*0.5 = .15
TestCase 3	20%	COMPLETED = 1.0	0.2*1.0 = .20
		SUM	0.43
		Percentage (*100)	43%

Tosca Commander displays the coverage in yellow in the Coverage Specified (%) column. The missing coverage is displayed in white.
