Traceability
Traceability refers to the capability to trace any piece of documentation or code from its point of origin throughout the development cycle. Traceability provides real visibility over the history, location, and application of an item, using sophisticated technologies. In most cases, traceability is required to achieve regulatory compliance.
Benefits of implementing Traceability
- Guaranteeing that all requirements are observed, verified, and validated,
- Maintaining high-quality standards and compliance with industry regulations,
- Facilitating tracks and changes management, orchestration of tasks, and meeting deadlines,
- Enabling errors and risks to be detected quickly, before they have a damaging impact,
- Accelerating debugging processes and simplifying maintenance,
- Contributing to better and more agile communication between broad engineering teams and stakeholders,
- Keeping a clear record of decisions and changes.
