Traceability depicts the relationship between testing requirements and test cases. Traceability defines mapping between requirements and list of prepared test cases. As regards to Horizontal and Vertical Traceability, refer what is vertical and horizental Traceability? which provides good information

Hi All,
Traceability :Traceability means that the test conditions should be able to be linked back to the source in the in the test basis.There are two type of traceability i> Horizontal(From test condition through test cases to test scripts)
ii> Vertical (from requirements to components)
The benefits of traceability are i>We can know whether all specifications have been tested
ii>Change in requirement can be easily cope up
iii>When a set of tests fails, we can know what functionality it exercises

Thanks

Hi All,
Traceability:
It means that the test condition should be linked back to the test basis.It is of two types.
Horizontal and vertical.
Horizontal :Horizontal ranges from at all test levels.i.e from test conditions through test cases to test scripts.
Vertical : Vertical traceability ranges from requirements to components.

Thanks
