History

TCG saves every generation so you can return to previous results at any time - even after closing the browser.


Accessing history

Click the History tab in the top navigation bar, or open the sidebar on the left (history icon).

The history list shows all generations for the current portal, most recent first.


What each history entry shows

Field
Description

File name

Name of the specification document

Date

When the generation was run

Type

Standard / Delta / Section

Test case count

Number of test cases produced

Quality score

AI health score if analysis was run

Workflow

The generation mode used


Loading a previous generation

  1. Find the generation you want in the history list.

  2. Click on it.

  3. TCG loads the test cases from its database (or local cache if available).

  4. You are taken to the results view for that generation.

If you are currently viewing another generation, loading from history replaces the results view. Your current generation is still saved and accessible from history.


How test cases are stored

TCG stores generated test cases in two places:

Storage
Lifetime
Purpose

Browser (localStorage)

Until browser storage is cleared

Fast loading on the same device

Database

Persistent, tied to your user identity

Available on any device or browser

When you load a generation from history:

  1. TCG first checks your browser's local storage.

  2. If not found locally, it fetches from the database.

  3. If neither has data (e.g. account mismatch or data was cleared), an error message is shown.


Editing loaded test cases

Test cases loaded from history are fully editable. Any changes you make are auto-saved back to the database within 300ms of your last edit.


Deleting a generation from history

  1. Find the generation in the history list.

  2. Click the Delete (trash) icon.

  3. Confirm deletion.

The generation entry is removed from your history list. Note: this removes the history record but does not delete the test cases from the database if they have been edited.


Generation types in history

Badge
Meaning

Standard

Full document generation

Delta

Revision-based generation

Section

Partial spec or pasted text

Cached

Loaded from a previously processed spec (fast, no re-parsing)

Template

Generated from a built-in or custom template


Resuming an interrupted generation

If a generation was interrupted (network drop, page close during processing), TCG can resume it:

  1. Return to the portal.

  2. A banner appears: "You have an interrupted generation. Resume?"

  3. Click Resume to re-attach to the server-side job and continue from where it left off.

  4. Click Discard to start fresh.

This works for both the requirements extraction phase and the test case generation phase.


Combining history with delta generation

A common workflow:

  1. Run Standard Generation on version 1.0 of your spec → saved to history.

  2. When version 2.0 is released, run Delta Generation comparing 1.0 and 2.0.

  3. Load the version 1.0 generation from history.

  4. Merge the delta results into your main test suite manually or via export.

This gives you a continuously maintained test suite aligned with your specification revisions.
