This example of a Traceability Matrix shows the relationship between Requirements and Test Cases
With this data we can ask such question as:
How many Test Cases may be affected by a change of the requirement
How much coverage of the requirements has been achieved?
Are any requirements overly complex and needing too many Test Cases?

To use:
1) Change the Req ID to the ID of your requirement
2) Change the Test Case ID to one that matches your own
3) Enter an 'x' into each square where your test case tests out a specific requirement
