Test Case and Defect Analysis for Customer Requirement Pool Management: Citation Source and Traceability

Core data for customer requirement pool management comes from ticketing systems, customer interview records, CRM systems, and product roadmaps.

Data Profile for This Category

Core data for customer requirement pool management comes from ticketing systems, customer interview records, CRM systems, and product roadmaps. Updates occur weekly or per product release cycle. Teams produce daily documents including requirement pool lists, requirement evaluation forms, customer feedback records, and version planning descriptions. Data fields include requirement source identifiers, associated customer information, priority tags, and version scheduling items. A joint team of product operations, customer success staff, and product managers maintains this data.

Customer requirement pool data comes from dispersed sources, and its update rhythm adjusts with product versions. The citation and traceability link must support cross-system data association. Each cited requirement must be traceable back to its original ticketing record, interview note, or CRM entry. Daily documents come in diverse types. Teams must clearly mark the specific document type and version of cited content, to avoid confusion between requirement evaluation results from different cycles. Frequent requirement merging and scheduling communication also require the traceability link to quickly locate original submission records for duplicate requirements, reducing information deviation.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
quoteMaxToken800–1200 tokenMatches the average length of a single complete customer requirement pool record, to avoid truncating critical traceability information
responseDataReturn only requirement source and associated customer fieldsFocuses on core identifiers required for traceability, reducing unnecessary data transmission
detailEnable full-link traceabilitySupports displaying the complete tracking path of a requirement from its original ticket to version planning
Timeout wait duration300 secondsAdapts to cross-system query times for customer requirement pool data, preventing workflow interruptions from excessive waiting
Cache validity period7 daysMatches the weekly update frequency of customer requirement pools, ensuring cited requirement data is always the latest version
Variable reference trigger ruleCalibrated via actual testingAdapts to dynamic specification of knowledge bases, matching the multi-data-source nature of customer requirement pools
Number of traceability entries returned per requestTop 3–7 entriesControls returned data volume, avoiding page load delays from excessive associated records

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Symptom: The reference variable dropdown in the knowledge base search node of a workflow is empty, and dynamic knowledge bases cannot be selected. Cause: No variable associated with the customer requirement pool data source was created in the global variable configuration, or the variable scope does not cover the current workflow.
  • Symptom: After test case execution, redundant citations from non-requirement pool sources appear in defect analysis results. Cause: The responseData parameter was not configured to filter irrelevant fields, resulting in non-target data from other systems being included.
  • Symptom: Cited content is truncated during traceability, and complete requirement records cannot be viewed. Cause: The quoteMaxToken value is too small, failing to cover the full character length of a single requirement pool record.

How to Verify Correct Configuration

This verification process is based on FastGPT v4.17.0.

  • Navigate to the knowledge base search node in a workflow, view the reference variable dropdown, and confirm that the associated customer requirement pool data source variable can be selected.
  • Trigger test case execution, view the traceability information in the defect analysis results, and confirm that only requirement pool-related source fields are included.
  • Adjust the quoteMaxToken parameter, then verify that the returned traceability content is not truncated.
  • Simulate a multi-requirement merging scenario, and confirm that the traceability link can quickly locate the original submitted customer feedback record.
