Traceability means showing some indication or any kind of match between a test case created and a requirement based on which that particular test case is created.

Traceability Matrix is used to know whether all requirements specified r covered by the test cases u created or not.It's a kind of Measure(matrix).

Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) is especially used to addresses the defects are present /missing in the requirement specification. Its mapping through the Test C
 

RTM Checklist and are equally important in the realistic SDLC.

Kindly check where and when we use them.

Let me brief as per my knowledge!!!!!!

BA/DM/PM reads the BRS and prepares the RTM and checklist to cater all the requirements came from client/BA

Got some time in the middle we need to go thro' all the above( dont leave anyone)... participate in reviews can't ever freeze???

and prepare respective plans(testplan/QAplan)

We should keep in mind.

cheers

- A traceability matrix is created by associating requirements with the work products that satisfy them.

- A traceability matrix is created by associating requirements with the work products that satisfy them. Tests are associated with the requirements on which they are based and the product tested to meet the requirement.

- Traceability ensures completeness that all lower level requirements come from higher level requirements and that all higher level requirements are allocated to lower level requirements.

- Traceability is also used to manage change and provides the basis for test planning.

Traceability matrix maps your testcases with yr requitrements requirements.

By having a traceability matrix you ensure that all the customer requirements are tested. So as to ensure that u will have the least bugs in the most important features as per the requirements..

1st.By having a traceability matrix you ensure that all the customer requirements are tested. So as to ensure that u will have the least bugs in the most important features as per the requirements..

2nd.If any problem reoccures in system testing or in any of STLC then u can easily trace it back that due to which test case it occueed and can reexecute it .
