Requirements Traceability Matrix C.

Description of Matrix Fields

Develop a matrix to trace the requirements back to the project objectives identified in the Baseline Project Plan (BPP), the project requirements mentioned in the System Requirements Statement (SRS), and forward through the remainder of the project life cycle phases. Place a copy of the matrix as an Appendix in the SRS, the System Design Specification (SDS), etc. Expand the matrix in each phase to show traceability of deliverables to the requirements and vice versa. The requirements traceability matrix should contain the following fields: A unique identification number containing the general category of the requirement (e.g., HRMN) and a number assigned in ascending order (e.g., 1.0; 1.1; 1.2). Priority (Each requirement needs to be given a priority on a scale from 1 to 5. 1 = critical, 5 = nice to have if you can get around to it.) A brief requirement statement / phrase. Requirement source (BPP, SRS, SDS etc.)*. SRS source*. SDS source*. Program Module containing the requirement. Test Specification containing the requirement test (In your BPP update that accompanies your SDS)*. Test Case number(s) where requirement is to be tested (In your Implementation deliverables)*. Verification of successful testing of requirements (In your Implementation deliverables)*. Modification field. If requirement was changed, eliminated, or replaced, indicate disposition and authority for modification. * Note: Each field should specify the page number in the document where this is referenced, the initials of the team member responsible for this section, and a check mark if it is completed. See example next page.
