what is Requirement Treasability Matrix (RTM)

Requirement Treasability Matrix (RTM) is a Document. Usually it is in the form of a table. RTM is showing the relationship between Test Requirements and Test cases (or) Test scenarios. The purpose of the Requirement Treasability Matrix is to make sure that all the requirements are covered in test cases and all the requirements are tested. Treasability Matrix links a Business Requirement Specification Document to its Corresponding test cases.

Types of Traceability Matrix:

·         Forward Traceability – In Forward Traceability Matrix we are trying to map from Requirements to Test cases this is Forward Traceability Matrix.

                               

Sl no	BRS ID	Test Scenario Id	Test Case Id
1	1.0	1.0	1-4
2	1.0	1.0.1	5-8
3	1.0	1.0.1	9-12
4	1.1	1.1	13-18

·         Backward Traceability – In Backward Traceability Matrix we are trying to map from Test Cases to Requirements this is Backward Traceability Matrix.

Sl no	Test Case Id	Test Scenario Id	BRS ID
1	1-4	1.0	1.0
2	5-8	1.0.1	1.0
3	9-12	1.0.1	1.0
4	13-18	1.1	1.1

We think that you will get a clear idea of RTM. If you people have any example on RTM? Then you can share it in comments the section below.
