Code coverage is a metric used to represent how much code is tested when particular test cases are executed. As is code coverage, specification coverage is expected to help us to comprehend how much specification to be implemented is tested. In this study, we propose a visualization process for specification coverage. This process finds traceability links between specifications and test cases using a similarity metric and constructs two views for visualization. We develop a prototype tool for automatically executing the process and evaluate the process in a preliminary experiment on a web application development in industry. This extended abstract explains the overview of our study and the preliminary results.
