Traceability or Bi-Directional Requirements Traceability is maintained to trace requirements in different stages of Software Development Lifecycle. It is bi-directional in nature so that Requirements can be traced from initiation to completion or from completion to initiation. It is commonly referred to as RTM (Requirements Traceability Matrix).
Generally Requirements Traceability Matrix is maintained using a Tabular Document which contains references to different Software Work Products prepared in different stages of the Product or Software Development Lifecycle. RTM contains, in the first column, list of requirements from the Initial Documents (like SOW, RFP) and then the Requirements Developed in the next stages (phases) in Next Columns. Entries in the Second and next columns are corresponding to the entry in the First Column and are documented in documents like Software Requirements Specification (SRS), Software Design Document (SDD) etc. prepared based on the SOW/RFP and are more technical and detailed.
A good Requirement Traceability document has following features:
