1) Perform a backward trace from the test cases to requirements and place all testcases that map to the same requirement in a contiguous grouping.  Examine all test cases in each grouping to verify they test something unique.

2) Conduct peer reviews of test cases and ask reviewers to ensure that there are no duplicate test cases.

3) Use the buddy system to have testers execute one another's test cases.  A fresh look at the test cases can often catch test case redundancies.

When the test cases are completed traseability matrix will be prepared to maping between specifications and test cases. Here we can know

1. How many test reqirements have been used?
2. How many test cases have been written for each specification?

So easily you can get  answer from second question.
