Main theme The main message of this course is that requirements and tests are two sides of the same coin. • Requirements without tests will be ignored. • Tests without requirements are meaningless.
The need for traceability It must be possible to trace • From test to requirement. Why do we need this test? • From requirement to test. • Where is this requirement tested? • Staus: How many of the tests for this requirement has been executed successfully?
