   Traceability (Traceability Matrix)

Test Cases need to be traced / mapped back to the appropriate requirement. Once all aspects of a requirement have been tested by one or more test cases then the test design activity for that requirement can be considered complete. A common misconception made during this process is that all test cases that exercise a particular requirement should be mapped to that requirement - only those test cases that are specifically created to test a requirement should be traced to that requirement. This approach gives a much more accurate picture of the application when coverage analysis is done - failure of a test case does not mean failure of all the requirements exercised (as opposed to tested by) the test case.
