Purpose
The Cloud Service Qualification (CSQ) Documentation provides a comprehensive guide for using the CSQ Cockpit effectively. It is designed for users of all levels, from beginners to experienced professionals.This documentation covers all aspects of the CSQ Cockpit, from basic
navigation to advanced features. Use it as your reference guide throughout
your CSQ journey.
Customer-specific requirements and configurations are not reflected in this

Key Terminology
Understanding these core concepts is essential for working with the CSQ Platform.Cloud Service
Cloud Service
A cloud service is a service accessible via the internet:
- Provided by cloud service providers such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
- Delivers functionality for cloud applications or independent use
- Remote access — unlike local installations, accessed from anywhere with internet
- Scalable solutions for software and storage needs
Use Case
Use Case
A use case represents a flexible amalgamation of cloud services:
- Group services — one or more cloud services under a single use case
- Share across contexts — multiple use cases may reference common services
- Adaptable — reflects versatility across different business scenarios
Deviation
Deviation
A deviation captures incorrect test execution results:
- Auto-created when a test execution fails
- Consolidated — consecutive failures grouped into one deviation
- No duplicates — prevents multiple identical deviations for the same test
- Resolved when the test passes again without errors
Risk
Risk
Risk assessment evaluates service-related risks:
- Criticality scoring — determines significance of features
- Impact analysis — understand risk levels for each element
- Test association — every test is linked to a risk level
