   Disadvantages of not using Traceability Matrix

		What happens if the Traceability factor is not considered while developing the software?

a)	The system that is built may not have  the necessary functionality to meet the  customers and users needs and expectations

b)	If there are modifications in the design specifications, there is no means of tracking the changes

c)	If there is no mapping of test cases to the requirements, it may result in missing a major defect in the system

d) The completed system may have �Extra� functionality that may have
not been specified in the design specification , resulting in wastage
of manpower, time and effort.

e) If the code component that constitutes the customer�s high priority
requirements is not known, then the areas that need to be worked first
may not be known thereby decreasing the chances of shipping a useful
product on schedule

f) A seemingly simple request might involve changes to several parts of
the system and if proper Traceability process is not followed, the
evaluation of the work that may be needed to satisfy the request may
not be correctly evaluated
