Requirements traceability is a sub-discipline of requirements management within software development and systems engineering.Traceability as a general term is defined by the IEEE Systems and Software Engineering Vocabulary [1] as (1) the degree to which a relationship can be established between two or more products of the development process, especially products having a predecessor-successor ...
A requirements traceability matrix may be used to check if the current project requirements are being met, and to help in the creation of a request for proposal, [2] software requirements specification, [3] various deliverable documents, and project plan tasks. [4]
The PMI guide Requirements Management: A Practical Guide recommends that a requirements tool should be identified at the beginning of the project, as [requirements] traceability can get complex and that switching tool mid-term could present a challenge. [3] According to ISO/IEC TR 24766:2009, [4] six major tool capabilities exist:
In a requirements traceability matrix, the rows will have the requirements. The columns represent each document. The columns represent each document. Intersecting cells are marked when a document addresses a particular requirement with information related to the requirement ID in the document.
Requirements come from different sources, like the business person ordering the product, the marketing manager and the actual user. These people all have different requirements for the product. Using requirements traceability, an implemented feature can be traced back to the person or group that wanted it during the requirements elicitation.
Requirements Triage or prioritization of requirements is another activity which often follows analysis. [4] This relates to Agile software development in the planning phase, e.g. by Planning poker , however it might not be the same depending on the context and nature of the project and requirements or product/service that is being built.
Requirements engineering (RE) [1] is the process of defining, documenting, and maintaining requirements [2] in the engineering design process. It is a common role in systems engineering and software engineering .
Requirements analysis is critical to the success or failure of a systems or software project. [3] The requirements should be documented, actionable, measurable, testable, [4] traceable, [4] related to identified business needs or opportunities, and defined to a level of detail sufficient for system design.
