Typically, in test situations, traceability matrices are used to trace requirements to test cases in order to ensure that there are test cases for all the requirements. Some tools, such as Rational Suite Enterprise, will help analysts trace requirements and then allow the tester to trace from the use cases and/or requirements to test cases. Of course, many types of traceability matrices may be created or reverse engineered. For example, you may back trace defects-->test cases-->use cases and vice versa. The default term likely applies to tracing requirements to test cases though.

A traceability matrix is created by associating requirements with the work products that satisfy them. Tests are associated with the requirements on which they are based and the product tested to meet the requirement.

Tracability matrix is the mapping between the user requirements and the builds that were prepared and tested to ensure the product is meeting the actual requirements of the client.By this we can easily visualise what is the actual requirements what we have developed and to test the software.There by existence of each and every functionality and its impact will be accessed

It is set of activites that help the project Team to identify,control and track requirements. So we have to develope traceability matrics for each type of requirements. F-Functional Requirements. D-Data Requirements . B-Behavioural Requirements. I-Interface requiremetns. P-Out put Requirements. So we have to develope Traceability matrics for FDBIP in the following way. a)Feature Traceability matrics. b)Source Traceability. c)Dependency Traceability. d)SubSystem Tracebility. e)Interface Tracebility.

RTM(Requirements Traceability Matrix) traces the Requirements to the Test Cases Id's. When a Defect is found in a Test RTM(Requirements Traceability Matrix) traces the Requirements to the Test Cases Id's. When a Defect is found in a Test Cases , using the Test Case id, Defect that contains that Code, Design , Plan and Requirement can be Traced Back. Tracability Matrix ensures 100% Test Coverage. Usualy it will be in this way --> Requirement Id -> Plan --> Design --> Code --> Test Case ID --> If Defects found then Defect ID
