Trace Analysis in Azure DevOps

Trace Analysis Tutorials

A Requirements Traceability Matrix is a tool that provides teams with the ability to easily trace requirements from end-to-end. This means you are able to trace how higher level requirements (like Epics) trace all the way down to your lowest level requirements (like bugs).

Building a Work Item Type Horizontal Matrix

Building a Horizontal Requirements Traceability Matrix is a method of seeing the full end-to-end perspective of your project.

Traditionally these Matrices take hours or days to create manually.
In our live demos we show teams how they can build the same style of matrix in roughly 15 seconds. In this video you learn everything you need to build these matrices using simple Work Item types. 

Building Query and Multiple Query Horizontal Matrices

In this tutorial we cover how your team can populate matrices using the results of Queries. This allows you to pull in any subset of data, and easily visualize the relationships between these work items. 

Building a Work Item Type Intersection Traceability Matrix

The Intersection Requirements Traceability Matrix allows you to identify and manage the relationships between the requirements in your project.

You can easily use this matrix to update relationships in your project, identify orphaned requirements, and ensure Test Coverage. This video shows you how to create an Intersection RTM using the work items from your project. 

Building a Query Intersection Matrix

When pulling in the information for your Intersection RTM, you might want to visualize one-to-many or many-to-many relationships. The only way to do this is to populate the columns and rows of your Intersection RTM using queries.
