Hp-QC - Traceability Matrix

The traceability matrix enables ALM users to determine the extent of relationships between requirements and other requirements. It is also used to determine the extent of relationships between requirements and tests. It helps users to verify if all the requirements are met and helps product owners to identify changes to the scope of the requirements when they occur.

Traceability matrix can be generated by navigating to "Requirements" module and then to "View" >> "Traceability Matrix".

Click "configure Traceability Matrix" and define source requirements. Also define Filter by linked requirements or tests and click OK.

Now click the "Generate Traceability Matrix" which will generate the traceability matrix based on the filter criteria.

The traceability matrix is generated which shows how each one of the requirements are affected. It also generates two other sheets - source requirements and linked test in the same Excel.
