Answer / amit verma
The main purpose of traceabilty matrix is to find the Test
Coverage,means how much Requirement are covered in Test
cases.
Generally Traceability Matrix is prepared by Sr. Tester.
But it doesnt prepared only by Sr. Tester,it may b prepared
either by Test Lead also.
Like in Real time Scenairo,Test cases are prepared by Jr.
Tester then these Test Cases are Reviewd by Sr. Tester.Then
Sr. Tester prepare the Traceability matrix and vice versa.

Answer / supertester
The first phase for a test cycle is "Requirement analysis".
In this phase the QA department gets the 'Requirements'.
The activity that goes on on this phase is
Requirement analysis:-Reading the requirements for the
project and understand them. All doubts or concerns are
documented in 'Issue log' document. This document is shared
with the client side BA(business analyst by our onsite
coordinators. The doubts are asnwered and the issue log is
sent back to the QA team. Simultaneously the number of test
cases for each requirement is estimated. Then TCI(test case
indexes) or you can call it the test purpose for each test
case is written. It is during this activity that the
Requirement traceability matrix is created. This activity
is done by the Senior test engineers.
Requirement traceability matrix is created in excel sheet.
The columns are RequirementID, RequiremtnName,Number of
test cases planned, Number of test cases authored,
TestCaseIDs, Status(complete/incomplete).
The purpose of creating the RTM is to verify if all the
features mentioned in the Requirements are being tested.
that is, there are test cases to written to test all the
features in the requirements.

Traceability Matrix : mapping between requirements and test
cases is called tracebility matrix.
by using traceability matrix we can trace any missing test
cases.
i think it was develop my tester (who was responsible to
prepare test cases)(i am not sure)

hi nan,
how can we trace any misssing test cases?
the matrix consists of the columns like
1)requirement ID
2)requirement description
3)test case ID
4)test case description
5)bug ID
by using these fields we know , which bug belongs to which
test case id,which test case id belongs to which req id
.......so an so .
so we can easily identify which one belongs to which req if
we get any confusion or questioned by any one.then we can go
through one by one like bug ID,test case description,test
case ID,requirement description,requirement ID .
but how can we trace any misssing test cases?
could u plz explain clearly.

Hi Brahma,
by using traceability matrix template we can trae any
missing test case.
traceability matrix can be use to analizing impact of
change request.
the matrix consists of the columns like
1)requirement ID
2)requirement description
3)test case ID
4)test sase description
5)bug ID

Answer / santhosh
all the above are correct my point of view.
Generally Traceability matrix is prepared by senior test
lead.It can be prepared with the help of Test Case Document
and PRD(Project Requirement Document in which all the
requirements are mentioned).
so The matrix is prepared in such a way that Every
requirement in prd should be covered by one or more test cases.
So ultimately we prepared this only to verify the test coverage.

that matrix is NOT used to find the Test

cases.
how can we find the test coverage from tracebilty matrix?
