Exploring types of traceability
There are three types of traceability. We move from left to right, right to left, or either way. They are as follows:
- Forward traceability: We start with a prioritized requirement and trace it each way to see the design, development, and testing progress in the right direction toward our proposed and intended functionality. Essentially, it helps us to make sure that we captured the requirement correctly, we have all the information related to the requirement, and that this is the right requirement.
- Backward traceability: We start tracing backward from specific phases of projects. It can be from test script to development to design to the business requirement, or it can be from solution design to functional design to business requirement. This is to make sure we are doing the right thing and staying on the right track and not going off course. This type of traceability ensures that we should be able to trace each individual functionality...
