Requirement traceability matrix

Requirement traceability matrix or rtm- This document is used to make sure 100 percent test coverage.

Rtm is a collective responsibility of the entire testing team

In rtm we look into test scenarios and from that we have design test cases and then we have results of those test cases and even have defects if some test cases have failed.

In rtm we have make sure if all business requirements have been fully tested

RTM is just a one time effort . We just create it and see if we have full test coverage after all the test cases have been executed and that’s it. We don’t check rtm on a daily basis.

And also rtm is not even compulsory in a testing team. And in agile we work on a 2 week sprint and after two weeks we work on a new sprint and new business stories and old stories are left behind so rtm is not required in agile as it wont be much useful there.

Then to check something on a daily basis we have a status report

It contains the modules ,sub levels ,their complexity ,who the responsible tester us ,date of completion ,if there is a defect what is its id.
