Understanding Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM)
What is RTM?
RTM stands for Requirements Traceability Matrix. The Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM)
is a document used for software testing. The purpose of a RTM is to establish a traceability
relationship between requirements and corresponding test cases. The RTM aims to track the
evolution of testing activities and guarantee complete test coverage.
Key Components:
● Requirements Identification
● Test Case Identification
● Traceability Links
● Status Tracking
● Coverage Analysis
Benefits of RTM
● Ensures Comprehensive Testing: Links requirements to test cases, leaving no gaps in
coverage.
● Facilitates Change Management: It helps in conducting impact analysis when
requirements change.
● Verification and Validation: Ensures developed software meets specified requirements.
● Bi-Directional Traceability: Allows tracing from requirements to test cases and vice
versa.
Importance of RTM
● Promotes Compliance: Organizes testing efforts in alignment with project requirements.
● Enhances Communication: Facilitates better communication among team members.
● Aids Audit Process: Provides a mechanism for maintaining a comprehensive testing
process.
Conclusion
RTM is a valuable tool in software testing, ensuring thorough testing and compliance with
project requirements.
