Requirements traceability

Traceability you can see.

From stakeholder need to test in one view. Gaps show up before the audit does, and a change shows exactly what needs another look.

Gaps in amberA requirement without a parent or without a test stands out, so coverage is never a guess.
Impact of changeEdit a requirement and its links turn suspect until someone re-checks them.
Trace matrix and exportsA classic matrix view, plus Excel, Word and PDF exports with every link.

Already tracing in a spreadsheet?

  • Paste the rows with an ID and a parent column; NodeLynx draws the links.
  • Many-to-many links: one requirement can serve several needs and one test can verify several requirements.
  • Record test results and see them on every requirement they cover.

Questions

What is requirements traceability?

Being able to follow each requirement back to the need it serves and forward to the test that verifies it. It shows what is missing and what a change affects.

Does NodeLynx support the V-model?

Yes. Projects are organised in levels from stakeholder needs to verification, and the Living V shows them in that shape.

What does it cost?

Start as a guest with up to 25 requirements, no account needed. Sign in for free for 100 requirements in one project. Solo is €9.95 a month for one editor without limits; Team is €24.95 a month for 3 editors, plus €7.95 per extra editor. Prices include VAT. See pricing.

Can I get my requirements out again?

Yes. Export a project to Excel, Word, PDF or CSV at any time, with IDs, levels and trace links.
