The Reuirement Tracebility matrix is a cross matrix that traces the requirements through each stage of the requirements gathering process. High level concepts will be matched to scope items which will map to individual requirements which will map to corresponding functions. This matrix should also take into account any changes in scope during the life of the project. At the end of a project, this matrix should show each function built into a system, its source and the reason that any stated requirements may not have been delivered.

By using RTM we can know the status of the project. In RTM we will list all the requirements with their corresponding test cases numbers.

E.G: Requirement 1 contain 1-10 test cases
Requirement 2 contain 11-20 test cases
Requirement 3 contain 21-30 test cases

here all the test cases of requirement 1 are passed requirement one also will pass automatically.

if one of the test case of any requirement got failed particular requirement also will fail.

E.G: RTM Table being as below.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
R. No - Requirement Name - Test cases numbers - How many - Requirement
- - - Test cases failed - Pass/Failed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Requirement-1 1-10 0 Pass

2 Requirement-2 11-20 1 Failed

3 Requirement-3 21-30 0 Passed


Once developer fixed the bug we need to do re and regression testing and we need to change the Requirement status in RTM Table.
