Standard generation

Standard Generation is the primary workflow. Upload a full specification document and TCG extracts all requirements, then generates a complete test case suite.

When to use Standard Generation

• You have a complete specification document (product requirements, technical spec, standards document, etc.)

• You want full coverage - test cases for every testable requirement in the document

• This is your first generation from this specification

Step-by-step walkthrough

1

Navigate to the Standard tab

Click Standard in the top navigation bar (it may be the default view).

2

Select a test case format template

The template determines the structure of each generated test case.

• Options typically include: Standard, Table 5-Row, Sequence, and any custom templates your admin has created.

Not sure which to pick? The Standard template works well for most specifications.

3

Choose the level of detail

Describe the desired level of detail for the test cases (e.g., high-level summary, engineering-level detail, etc.)

4

Upload your specification

Two methods:

Drag and drop:

1. Drag your PDF or DOCX file from your file explorer.

2. Drop it onto the dashed dropzone area.

Browse:

1. Click inside the dropzone.

2. Navigate to your file and select it.

After the file is accepted, its name appears in the dropzone. A hash is computed to detect if you have uploaded this same document before.

5

Configure notification email (optional)

For long-running generations (large specs), enter your email address in the Notification field. TCG will email you when generation is complete.

6

Click Generate Test Cases

The button activates once a file is uploaded. Click it to start.

What happens during generation

TCG uses a two-phase AI pipeline:

Phase	What happens
1. Parse Document	Text is extracted from your PDF or DOCX
2. Extract Requirements	AI identifies every testable requirement
3. Build Assistant	A RAG-based assistant is trained on your document (if a context file is used)
4. Requirements Review	(If enabled by admin) You review and edit the extracted requirements
5. Generate Test Cases	AI generates test cases for each requirement in parallel
6. Complete	Results are displayed

A streaming progress view shows requirements appearing in real time as they are extracted. A progress bar shows how many test cases have been generated.

Requirements Review step

If the Requirements Review feature is enabled by your admin, you are shown the extracted requirements before generation begins. You can:

• Edit requirement text by clicking on it

• Delete requirements you want excluded

• Add new requirements manually

• Reorder requirements by dragging

• Download requirements as CSV for review in a spreadsheet

Click Continue to Generate when satisfied.

This step is especially useful for noisy specifications where the AI may extract partial or malformed requirements. Cleaning them before generation improves output quality.

Results

When generation finishes:

• You are taken to the Test Cases view

• A success toast shows the total test case count

• The Spec Coverage panel shows how many requirements have at least one test case

Continue to Reviewing editing to learn what you can do with your results.

Re-running generation

To generate test cases again from the same document (or a new one):

1. Click the Standard tab in the navigation bar.

2. The form is reset and ready for a new upload.

Previous generations are preserved in the History tab.
