The Traceability Matrix is a very good document that gives us the complete overview / confidence on the end-to-end activities of the SDLC. But it needs to be done carefully as we need to capture a lot of complex data at all stages of an SDLC Using the Traceability Matrix we will be able to confidently say that all the User Requirements are properly documented and respectively addressed well in the following also: 1. Functional Requirements Document 2. Design Documents (HLDD and LLDD) 3. Coding and Unit Testing 4. System Test Plans 5. Test Execution Reports So precisely, a Traceability Matrix gives us the end-to-end visibility of the Requirements.
