This thesis explores the application of generative AI to automate the creation of test cases from technical requirement specifications. The project aims to investigate how a domain-specific language model, trained on internal documentation, can interpret and transform structured and unstructured requirements into relevant and executable test cases.

The work includes dataset preparation, model fine-tuning, evaluation of output quality, and integration feasibility into existing development workflows. The outcome could significantly enhance efficiency and consistency in the verification process.
