The traceability matrix depicts the relationship between customer requirements and test cases prepared by test engineers thereby creating the mapping
between customer requirements and prepared test cases. This is also known as requirements validation matrix.

Testing team use traceability matrix to verify if all the requirements of the functionalities to be tested are covered or not.

A traceability matrix is a table that traces the requirements to tests whether the user requirements are fulfilled .A good matrix provided both forward and backward traceability.The matrix links higher level requirements,design specification,code files and test requirements.It ensure that the all test cases r passed and met the given required specifications.

Hi All,
According to me Traceability matrix is a table in which we can identify the element in the requirement specification.
There is a concept of mapping through which we can identify the source element from the table.

Thanks
