# Traceability report

## Traceability report

The traceability report provides a full matrix connecting requirements, test cases, and bugs.

Open **Reports** → **Traceability** to access it.

Use this report to compare product requirements against the testing work and defects connected to them.

The report shows:

* every requirement in the project
* the test cases linked to each requirement
* the latest execution status of each linked test case
* any bugs linked to those test cases
* an overall coverage status for each requirement

### What it helps you compare

The matrix helps you review each requirement against three related signals:

* linked test cases for planned coverage
* latest execution results for actual coverage
* linked bugs for quality risk

This view helps you see whether a requirement is covered, partially covered, or still exposed.

It also helps you compare one requirement against another during release reviews.

Coverage status values include:

* `Covered`
* `Partial`
* `Uncovered`

### How teams use it

Teams often use the traceability report to answer these questions:

* Which requirements are fully covered by tests
* Which covered areas still have open bugs
* Which requirements need more testing before release

This report is especially useful before sign-off or GA review.

It provides a single view of coverage depth, execution outcomes, and defect linkage.

You can use these signals to support a release readiness or GA readiness assessment.

Additional views include:

* **Coverage by Priority** as a bar chart
* **Coverage Trend** as a line chart
* **Uncovered List** as a sortable table

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://mozarkdocs.gitbook.io/appx_documentation/test-context-manager-documentation/reports-and-analytics/generating-a-report/traceability-report.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
