Traceability Matrix

[sridharrganesan]

To identify whether all the test cases written and the requirement documents are in synch, the Traceability matrix or coverage matrix is used. Once the tester write the test cases it will entered in the matrix sheet. It will then reviwed either by the Reviewer or Test Lead and validate that all the specification mentioned in the Requirement document are covered and splitted in to all possible scenarios in the format of test case.

In general, the Traceability matrix will have the following fields:

1. Requirement ID
2. Requirement received Date
3. Module Name
4. Responsible Tester Name
5. Reviewer Name
6. Test case name
7. Build / Version number
8. Associated Defects
9. Reviewer Comments.

The traceability matrix can either be maintained in the excel sheet or in any of the specified tools.
