Software Engineering: Requirements Traceability Matrix (Definitions)

"A matrix describing the traceability between requirements and work products." (Lars Dittmann et al, "Automotive SPICE in Practice", 2008)

"A table that links requirements to their origin and traces them throughout the project life cycle." (Cynthia Stackpole, "PMP Certification All-in-One For Dummies", 2011)

"A grid that links product requirements from their origin to the deliverables that satisfy them." (For Dummies, "PMP Certification All-in-One For Dummies" 2nd Ed., 2013)

"A two-dimensional table, which correlates two entities (e.g., requirements and test cases). The table is used to determine and achieve coverage, to trace back and forth from one entity to the other, and to assess the impact of proposed changes." (ISTQB)

"Is a document, usually in the form of a table, that correlates any two baselined documents that require a many to many relationship to determine the completeness of the relationship." (IQBBA)
