Description
The Traceability Management feature links requirements, design artifacts, implementation, and test results in a consistent manner to visualize relationships across the entire development process.
In SDV development, where changes and additions occur frequently, it helps teams understand the scope of impact and supports appropriate response decisions.
Visualizing Relationships from Requirements to Testing
In automotive software development, requirement changes and feature additions occur on a frequent basis.
As a result, it can be difficult to understand which requirements affect which design artifacts, implementation components, and test activities, often leading to unnecessary rework or overlooked checks.
This feature systematically links requirements, design outputs, source code, test cases, and test results to visualize relationships across the entire development process, making it easier to understand the scope of impact when changes occur.
Supporting Change Management and Quality Control
This feature provides a clear overview of which tests have been executed for each requirement and which requirements remain unverified.
– Identifying the scope of impact when requirements change
– Clarifying which tests need to be re‑executed
– Confirming the relationship between requirements and test results
Through these capabilities, it helps prevent oversight during change management and supports development while maintaining product quality.
Supporting Continuous Updates in SDV Development
In SDV development, continuous software updates are a fundamental assumption.
By continuously managing the relationships between requirements and development artifacts, this feature provides a foundation that makes it easier to understand development status and quality conditions even as updates are applied over time.
