As i know these things as i can imagine how? but i need to know does it go (acoverage matrix) for all functions at the system?? or it covers format of some softwares?
do you have an example?
can you?
thank u

what is test coverage matrix? what is traceability matrix? whats is the difference between the two?

Test coverage matrix and traceability matrix represents the same. In the Test Coverge matrix we will identify that all the funtionalities represented in the requirement documents are covered and converted into the test cases. In the traceability matrix we will compare the test cases generated against the requirements, in order to validate that all the scenarios and functionalities mentioned in the requirement documents are converted into test cases. The template for the traceability matrix will be having the "Requirement ID, Name of the Test cases generated, severity of the test case (complex, simple or medium), the Build or version number, and the associated defects after the execution of the test cases"
