The job it does
Before a release review or an audit: show that every requirement is built and tested, and find what is not. It comes with its own checks, so after you change it you can see at a glance that it still does the job.
What's inside
This is the template exactly as the Product & BA Lab opens it, read-only. Open it to run it, change it and export it.
- 1 document
- Exports as Markdown and CSV
Every requirement traced to the user stories that meet it and the test cases that prove it, with the gaps highlighted. Paste your own requirements, stories and tests and tick where they meet.
- Every requirement traces to a story and a passing test
- No story meets more than 2 requirements, and no test checks more than 2 stories
