​
Open a Verification PowerSheet

  1. Navigate to the Testing space from the sidebar
  2. Locate the verification sheet for your target requirement level:
    • System Verification Sheet — for system requirements
    • Subsystem Verification Sheet — for subsystem requirements
    • Design Verification Sheet — for design requirements
  3. Click the sheet name to open the PowerSheet view
Each space dashboard (Requirements, Design, Testing) includes direct links to its verification sheets. Look for the “Verification Sheets” section on the dashboard.

​
Understanding the Three-Tier Layout

Verification PowerSheets use a color-coded three-tier column architecture: diagram
  • Purple section (left): Requirement metadata — read-only context
  • Orange section (middle): Linked verification test cases — editable
  • Red section (right): External verification evidence — audit artifacts
Purple = what must be met, Orange = how we verify, Red = proof of verification. This maps to the V-model right-side verification flow.
Verification sheets use RTM model expansion to show denormalized traceability chains:
  1. Each requirement row expands into multiple sub-rows when it has linked test cases
  2. Each test case sub-row further expands when it has linked evidence artifacts
  3. Use the group-by document header to collapse/expand requirements by source specification
Example hierarchy:

​
Create Test Cases Inline

The PowerSheet includes entity factory configuration for rapid test case creation:
  1. Navigate to a requirement row that needs verification coverage
  2. In the Test Case ID column (orange section), click the cell
  3. Type a new test case ID or leave blank for auto-generation
  4. Press Tab to move to the Test Case Title field — enter the test description
  5. Press Enter to commit the new row
New test cases are auto-created in the correct Testing space document based on requirement level:
  • System requirements → Testing/SystemVerificationSpecification
  • Design requirements → Testing/DesignVerificationSpecification
    Do NOT manually create test cases elsewhere — this breaks the sheet filter.
The test case is automatically linked to the requirement using the verifies link role.

​
Filter by Test Case Document

Verification sheets include a module parameter filter to scope which test cases appear:
  1. Open the sheet configuration panel (gear icon ⚙️)
  2. Locate the VerificationTestCase module parameter dropdown
  3. Select the target test specification document to filter by
  4. Click Apply — the sheet reloads showing only requirements with tests from that document
This enables multi-module verification tracking when test cases are organized across multiple specifications.

​
Interpret Coverage Gaps

Requirements without linked test cases appear as single-row entries with empty orange/red sections: To identify all gaps:
  1. Sort the sheet by Test Case ID column (ascending)
  2. All blank rows cluster at the top — these are unverified requirements
  3. Use the Testing space dashboard coverage bar for aggregate gap counts with drill-down queries
The Testing space dashboard shows live coverage percentages (e.g., “System Requirements Verification Coverage: 83.9%”). Click the gap query link to jump directly to uncovered requirements.

​
Collapse Sections for Focus

When reviewing large verification sets, collapse column groups to focus:
  1. Click the group header (purple, orange, or red section name) to collapse that tier
  2. Collapsed groups show only the collapse target field:
    • Requirements collapse to → Description
    • Tests collapse to → Title
    • Evidence remains expanded (single column)
  3. Click again to expand back to full column view
This progressive disclosure keeps context visible while maximizing screen space.

​
Verification Steps

You should now see:
  • A three-tier PowerSheet with requirements, tests, and evidence columns color-coded by workflow stage
  • Denormalized rows showing one sub-row per linked test case per requirement
  • Empty orange/red sections for requirements lacking verification coverage
  • The ability to create new verification test cases inline with automatic link creation
