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.
