### VS Code Extensions
1. Install the **Excel Viewer** extension (`GrapeCity.gc-excelviewer`) to view/edit Excel sheets directly in VS Code (optional). Alternatively, use MS Excel to view/edit Excel sheets.
2. Install the **VectorCAST Text Explorer** VS-Code extension from the Microsoft Marketplace.

## 2. Generating Tests from Requirements

The demo release includes an Excel file with requirements and requirements-to-code traceability.
The demo release ships with requirements including requirements-to-code traceability. To use them, import them into the environment which will set up a requirements gateway (RGW). The RGW is the single source of truth — the extension reads from and writes to it directly.

### Initial Setup
1. Click the **Flask icon** (Test Explorer) on the left sidebar to show the environment tree.
2. Right-click `TUTORIAL_C` and select **VectorCAST -> Show Requirements**. The requirements webview will appear.
3. Right-click `TUTORIAL_C` and select **VectorCAST -> Populate RGW from Requirements**.
* *Note: This creates a requirements gateway and populates it from the Excel sheet. Wait for the notification (approx. 3-5 seconds).*
* If you do not have the requirements-to-code traceability for a function, Reqs2x will generate it automatically with your approval.
2. Right-click `TUTORIAL_C` and select **VectorCAST -> Import Requirements**. Choose the file `reqs-TUTORIAL_C/reqs.xlsx`. This will load the requirements into the environment.
2. Right-click `TUTORIAL_C` and select **VectorCAST -> Show Requirements**. The requirements webview will appear, rendered directly from the RGW.

1. **Modify requirement**:
* Open `reqs.xlsx` using the Excel Viewer.
* Find `FR27` (Add Included Dessert).
* Edit the requirement directly in the requirements gateway (RGW) in the Requirements view. Open it by selecting ``VectorCAST -> Show Requirements`.
* Find `FR27` (Add Included Dessert).
* Change the free dessert for `steak, caesar salad and mixed drink` from `pie` to `cake`.
* Change the free dessert for `lobster, green salad and wine` from `cake` to `pie`.
* Save (`Ctrl+S`) and close the tab.
* Right-click `TUTORIAL_C` and select **VectorCAST -> Populate RGW from Requirements** to push the change to the requirements gateway. You will be prompted to accept replacing the old requirements gateway with the new one.
* Save the change. The extension always reads from the RGW, so no further sync step is required.

2. **Update tests**:
* In Test Explorer, find the `Add_Included_Dessert` node.
