Requirement Traceability matrix tells as the test coverage of test case
before Going to Next phase of testing or before GO live of the software .
In Software Testing Life cycle
·
First of all Requirement will be gather from the
Business.
·
Second on the basis of requirements test case
will be created
·
Third Test case will be executed on build
provided by developer
·
Fourth defect will be raised for failed test .
·
Fifth and Final go will be give when all test
pass.
But still how can we trust on tester / testing team that all
requirements are covered?
A tester is a human being they will may be miss the
requirement as Developer miss the requirement and tester tested the finished
product and raised a defects.
Solution
To overcome the entire Problem we need Requirement Traceability
matrix.
In Requirement Traceability matrix
·
One Requirement will Map to N number of Test
case
·
N number of Test case need to passed to covered
that requirement
Lots of Tool presents to maintain Requirement Traceability
