What Coverage Reports Show

TestAuto2 provides three types of coverage reporting:
  • Traceability Coverage — Validates bidirectional links between requirements, test cases, and design artifacts
  • FMEA Coverage — Ensures all SC/CC classified items have failure mode analysis
  • Standards Compliance — Per-standard readiness metrics for ISO 26262, AIAG-VDA, IATF 16949

​
Generate Traceability Coverage Report

  1. Navigate to Documentation space from the sidebar
  2. Click Requirements Traceability Report from the space dashboard
  3. The report displays:
    • Customer Requirements → System Requirements (refines)
    • System Requirements → Design Requirements (refines)
    • Requirements → Verification Test Cases (verifies)
    • Requirements → Validation Test Cases (validates)
Each coverage bar shows: 
[████████░░] 80% (40/50) — 10 gaps
  • Green filled = covered items
  • Gray empty = uncovered items
  • Percentage = coverage ratio
  • Gap count = clickable link to uncovered work items query
Click the gap count number (e.g., “10 gaps”) to open Work Items Tracker with a pre-filtered query showing exactly which items lack coverage. This enables immediate remediation.

​
Generate FMEA Coverage Report

  1. Navigate to Documentation space
  2. Click FMEA Coverage Report
  3. The dashboard validates three coverage dimensions:
Coverage CheckWhat It ValidatesGap Query
Customer RequirementsAll SC/CC requirements have linked failure modestype:custReq AND classification.KEY:(sc cc) AND NOT linkedWorkItems:assesses=*
FunctionsAll SC/CC functions have linked failure modestype:function AND classification.KEY:(sc cc) AND NOT linkedWorkItems:assesses=*
CharacteristicsAll SC/CC characteristics have linked failure modestype:characteristic AND classification.KEY:(sc cc) AND NOT linkedWorkItems:assesses=*
SFMEA DecompositionSystem/subsystem failure modes have child causesChecked via causes back-link traversal
The report displays summary cards for each dimension: diagram
If coverage appears low, verify that your characteristics and requirements have classification field set to sc (Safety Critical) or cc (Critical Characteristic). Non-classified items are excluded from FMEA coverage requirements.

​
Generate Safety Readiness Scorecard

  1. Navigate to Home Dashboard from the sidebar
  2. Scroll to Reports section
  3. Click Safety Readiness Scorecard
  4. The matrix displays per-standard compliance:
Standard          | Reqs | Trace | V&V | FMEA | Docs | Overall
------------------|------|-------|-----|------|------|--------
ISO 26262 Part 3  |  0%  | 100%  | 48% | N/A  |  23  |  49%
ISO 26262 Part 4  | 87%  | 100%  | 84% | 100% |   4  |  92%
ISO 26262 Part 5  | 92%  | 100%  |100% | 100% |   6  |  97%
AIAG-VDA FMEA     | N/A  |  N/A  | N/A |  94% |  23  |  94%
IATF 16949/APQP   | 73ch |  60%  | N/A | N/A  |   0  |  60%
Metric Definitions:
  • Reqs % = Requirements with at least one linked work item / total
  • Trace % = Requirements with any outgoing or incoming traceability link
  • V&V % = Requirements with back-linked verification or validation test cases
  • FMEA % = Failure modes with post-mitigation Action Priority set / total
  • Docs = Count of specification documents of relevant type
  • Overall = Average of applicable numeric metrics (N/A excluded)
The scorecard uses automatic color coding: green ≥90%, yellow 70-89%, red <70%. This visual indicator helps prioritize remediation efforts for standards with low readiness.

​
Export Coverage Data

All coverage reports are LiveDoc pages that can be exported:
  1. Click the More Actions menu on the report page
  2. Select Export to PDF
  3. Configure export settings:
    • Include statistics tables
    • Include gap query results (optional — adds uncovered item details)
  4. Click Export
The exported PDF preserves:
  • Coverage bar visualizations (rendered as tables)
  • Gap count statistics
  • Velocity macro outputs (nxLinkCoverage, nxCoverageBar)
If you enable “Include gap query results” on projects with hundreds of uncovered items, PDF export may take 2-3 minutes and produce a large file (10+ MB). For audit purposes, export gap queries separately from Work Items Tracker.

​
Verification

You should now see:
  • ✓ Traceability coverage percentages for all requirement levels
  • ✓ FMEA coverage metrics broken down by work item type (requirements, functions, characteristics)
  • ✓ Standards readiness scorecard with traffic-light color coding
  • ✓ Clickable gap counts that open filtered Work Items Tracker queries
  • ✓ Summary cards showing covered/not covered/total counts
