Req-Traceability: Living Requirements with Traceability

Overview

Create and maintain ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148 compliant requirements that serve as a single source of truth for what the code implements.

Core principle: Requirements live alongside code - not as a separate document that drifts apart.

Three-Layer Traceability:

• Requirements ↔ Code: What the system should do and where it's implemented
• Requirements ↔ Test Specifications: How to verify requirements are met
• Test Specifications ↔ Code: Which tests verify which code
