Answer / nandan_101

In a software development process, a traceability matrix is
a table that correlates any two baselined documents that
require a many to many relationship to determine the
completeness of the relationship. It is often used with
high-level requirements (sometimes known as marketing
requirements) and detailed requirements of the software
product to the matching parts of high-level design,
detailed design, test plan, and test cases.
