ITPEC FE Morning April 2021 — Question 65 of 80

Traceability is the ability to keep track of a requirement throughout its entire lifecycle — from the original stakeholder request through development to the implementation of a change request. It ensures every requirement can be traced forward and backward across project artifacts.

Why not others:
- (a) Interoperability — the ability of different systems to work together and exchange data; unrelated to tracking requirements.

- (b) Maintainability — how easily a system can be modified, corrected, or adapted after deployment.

- (d) Usability — how easy and effective a system is for end users to operate.

Key rule: Traceability = following the "trace" (trail) of a requirement from origin to implementation.
