​
You have three ways to request new test coverage:

  • Open a coverage request in the platform
  • Send a message in Slack, Teams, or Discord
  • Tag QA Wolf in Jira or Linear. Tag the ticket with QA Wolf and we’ll pick it up from there.

​
What to include in the coverage request

We can get started with a message as simple “New onboarding flow in staging, ready for tests” but the more detail that you provide, the less follow up we’ll need and the faster we can get the tests live. We have found that using this format yields the best results for our customers: Objective: Describe the goal of the flow you want created. Example: Verify the user registration process to ensure a user can register and receive a confirmation email. Preconditions: List anything that must be set up before the test can run. Example: Access to a user with admin permissions. Steps: Outline the actions required to achieve the objective. Example:
  • Navigate to the registration page.
  • Fill out the registration form with valid data.
  • Submit the form.
  • Check for a confirmation message.
  • Verify a confirmation email is sent with correct details.
  • Confirm that the user is created in the database.
Test data: Include any specific data inputs the test will need. Example: A unique email address and user details for registration. Expected results: Describe what should happen if everything works correctly. Example:
  • The form submits successfully.
  • A confirmation message appears.
  • A confirmation email is received.
  • The user record is correctly created in the database.
Postconditions: Specify any clean-up work needed after the test. Example: Delete the test user from the database. Priority and timeline: Indicate the priority of the request (urgent, high, medium, low) and whether you have a deadline. Video recording (optional): Short walkthrough videos (e.g., Loom) aren’t required but are very helpful for the team.

What happens next

As soon as we receive the coverage request we will begin building tests. If you submitted a request via chat (Slack, Teams, Discord) or an issue tracker, a Coverage Request item will also be created in the QA Wolf platform

From the Requests tab, click Request coverage in the top right of the page.
2
A drawer opens.

Coverage requests include a set of fields that control status, priority, ownership, and how the request connects to flows.
