SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables teams to generate a complete traceability matrix that links each requirement to one or more tests across multiple levels (E2E, API, Component, Unit) and to assess coverage quality via a deterministic gate decision.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Builds a comprehensive requirements-to-tests map to support impact analysis, risk assessment, and audit readiness.
  • Supports automated traceability extraction and gap analysis to surface coverage holes and guide test strategy.
  • Use Case: A QA lead runs the workflow on a new feature to produce a traceability matrix and a pass/condense gate decision to guide release readiness.

Quick Start

Run the BMAD traceability workflow to generate a matrix and gate decision from your project tests.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a traceability matrix from requirements to tests?▼

To generate a traceability matrix, this Skill identifies all requirements and corresponding tests across E2E, API, component, and unit levels, producing a complete map linking each requirement to its tests.

What is a gate-ready analysis for test coverage?▼

A gate-ready analysis for test coverage applies deterministic criteria to evaluate traceability and test results, outputting a PASS, CONCERNS, FAIL, or WAIVED decision to determine release readiness.

How do I find coverage gaps in my test architecture?▼

You can find coverage gaps through automated traceability extraction that maps requirements to tests across multiple levels, surfacing missing test coverage to guide your test strategy.

Can I use this for audit readiness and impact analysis?▼

Yes, you can use this for audit readiness and impact analysis because it builds a comprehensive requirements-to-tests map that tracks each requirement to corresponding tests across all testing levels.

What test levels are supported when mapping requirements?▼

The traceability matrix maps each requirement to one or more tests across E2E, API, component, and unit levels to provide comprehensive coverage analysis.

How do I assess release readiness from my test results?▼

You assess release readiness by running the workflow to produce a traceability matrix and applying deterministic gate criteria that output a PASS, CONCERNS, FAIL, or WAIVED decision based on coverage.
