6.5. Creating an RTM – Step-by-Step

Try these first

1. 1.

   List what needs to be collected to create an RTM.

   Hint

   Look into the BRD and FRD.

2. 2.

   Why is it important to assign unique IDs to requirements?

   Hint

   Reflect on how IDs help in communication.

3. 3.

   What is the first step in creating an RTM?

   • Design Test Cases
   • List All Requirements
   • Track Execution Status

   Hint

   Think about what you need before designing test cases.

4. 4.

   True or False: Backward traceability validates if tests were run based on requirements.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Reflect on what backward traceability measures.

5. 5.

   Suppose a requirement is modified to add additional user permissions. How would you update your RTM?

   Hint

   Consider how changes ripple through the testing process.

6. 6.

   You have identified a defect linked to a test case that failed. How do you document this in the RTM?

   Hint

   Think about tracking feedback in your testing workflow.
