How does the requirements traceability matrix (RTM) work? How do I complete my RTM?

The requirements traceability matrix is created based on relationships between the following configuration items:

By default, you will see the following columns and their relations to the configuration items that you may be familiar with:

Column	Description of applicable configuration items
Use Case	Requirements of type use case
Input	Child requirements of the use case
Output	Specifications that fulfill a requirement
Verification	Test cases that test a specification and have been executed through a test execution
Validation	Test cases that test a requirement and have been executed through a test execution

Note: The requirements traceability matrix is completely configurable to meet the needs of your organization.

If you receive an error message for your traceability matrix, refer to MAN-07 Traceability for fixing traceability errors.
