   • Link can be used to examine which test case validates the requirement
3. Test scripts are associated with the test case
   • New test scripts may be created
   • Existing test scripts may also be selected
4. The test case details are updated based on the test scripts to be executed
   • Procedural data such as the test case precondition and postcondition are collected
   • The test case may be reviewed and refined as needed
5. Product requirement is implemented
   • Candidate driver is created
   • Candidate driver is delivered for test
