Automatically build and maintain your requirements traceability matrix
RequirementMatrix is an AI-powered requirements traceability matrix tool that maintains a live traceability matrix linking every requirement to its delivery outputs — Jira tickets, Azure DevOps work items, TestRail test cases and ServiceNow changes. AI requirement traceability keeps coverage current automatically — no spreadsheets, no manual maintenance.
What is a requirements traceability matrix?
The link between requirements and delivery
A requirements traceability matrix (RTM) is a document or tool that maps requirements to the delivery outputs created from them — including development work, test cases, change requests and business outcomes. It ensures every requirement has been addressed and gives teams the visibility to understand gaps, coverage and the impact of changes.
Traditionally, RTMs are maintained manually in spreadsheets — an error-prone, time-consuming process that quickly becomes out of date. RequirementMatrix replaces the manual RTM with an automatically maintained, real-time view built on live integrations with your delivery tooling.
How it works
Your RTM is built automatically as your team works
Capture and approve requirements
Create requirements in RequirementMatrix with full context — acceptance criteria, priority, owner and category. Route them through review and approval before they move to delivery.
Generate AI-assisted dev tickets and test cases
Use AI to generate draft development tickets and test cases from approved requirements. Review, amend and approve them before they are pushed to your delivery tools.
Push to your delivery stack
Approved dev tickets are pushed directly to Jira or Azure DevOps. Test cases go to TestRail. Change requests go to ServiceNow. Links are maintained automatically.
View live traceability at any time
Your requirements traceability matrix is always up to date — showing every requirement, its linked delivery items and coverage status in real time.
In-app traceability matrix
See how each requirement is met — and where it isn't
As well as live links to your delivery tools, every requirement has a built-in Traceability tab that builds a proper requirements traceability matrix from its acceptance criteria. It maps each criterion to the dev tickets that implement it and the test cases that verify it, shows live coverage percentages, and lists every gap in plain English.
Criterion-level matrix
One row per acceptance criterion, linked to its dev tickets and test cases with their lifecycle and test-result status — no manual linking to maintain.
Live coverage percentages
Implementation, verification and test-pass rates update automatically as items are added and progressed, plus a count of open change requests.
Gaps called out
A gaps panel flags criteria with no implementation or verification, tests not passing, tickets not done and missing business value — so nothing slips through.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a requirements traceability matrix?
A requirements traceability matrix (RTM) maps requirements to the delivery outputs created from them — development work, test cases, change requests and business outcomes. It ensures every requirement has been addressed and helps teams understand gaps, coverage and the impact of changes.
Does RequirementMatrix replace manual RTM spreadsheets?
Yes. RequirementMatrix maintains a live, automatically updated traceability matrix built on real integrations with Jira, Azure DevOps, TestRail and ServiceNow — eliminating the need for manual spreadsheet maintenance.
Can I trace requirements to test cases?
Yes. Requirements can be linked to test cases in TestRail. When you generate test cases from a requirement in RequirementMatrix, the traceability link is created and maintained automatically.
What happens to traceability when a requirement changes?
RequirementMatrix includes impact assessment tooling that helps you understand which linked delivery items are affected when a requirement changes — so you can manage change risk before approving updates.
Is there a traceability matrix inside RequirementMatrix, or only via integrations?
Both. Every requirement has a built-in Traceability tab that builds a matrix from its acceptance criteria — mapping each criterion to the dev tickets and test cases that implement and verify it, with live coverage percentages and a gaps panel. The integration-powered matrix then links those items out to Jira, Azure DevOps, TestRail and ServiceNow.
