What is Traceability Matrix(RTM) ??

Traceability Matrix (also known as Requirement Traceability Matrix - RTM) is a table which is used to trace the requirements during the Software development life Cycle. It can be used for forward tracing (i.e. from Requirements to Design or Coding) or backward (i.e. from Coding to Requirements). There are many user defined templates for RTM. Each requirement in the RTM document is linked with its associated test case, so that testing can be done as per the mentioned requirements. Furthermore, Bug ID is also include and linked with its associated requirements and test case. 

The main goals for this matrix are: 
  1. Make sure Software is developed as per the mentioned requirements.  
  2. Helps in finding the root cause of any bug.  
  3. Helps in tracing the developed documents during different phases of SDLC.
