A traceability report is generated

Motivation

This scenario addresses multiple needs for traceability reporting.

Pre-conditions

Requirements exist at various levels and are traced. A report is required on the traceability between one collection of artefacts (e.g. a set of user requirements) and another (e.g. a set of system requirements).

Scenario

1. The collection of 'source' artefacts is assembled.
2. The collection of 'destination' artefacts is assembled.
3. A traceability graph is created that contains all of the source artefacts, all of the destination artefacts, and all of the intermediate traceability (linked via a named relationship).
   1. This traceability graph may include further, intermediate artefacts if the traceability between source and destination artefacts is not direct

Post-conditions

A traceability graph exists that contains all source and destination artefacts, all intermediate artefacts, and all relevant relationships between them.

Notes

This scenario is general, and could be applied to reporting on any linked artefact sets (e.g. system requirements to test cases).
