traceability record

work product that

  • identifies requirements to be traced,
  • identifies a mapping of requirement to lifecycle work products,
  • provides the linkage of requirements to work product decomposition (i.e. requirement, design, code, test, deliverables, etc.)
  • provides forward and backwards mapping of requirements to associated work products throughout all phases of the lifecycle

NOTE 1 This may be included as a function of another defined work product (example: A CASE tool for design decomposition may have a mapping ability as part of its features).

NOTE 2 Definition taken from ISO/IEC 15504-5:2006, Annex B.
