A matrix which mapps the developement stages along with testing issues is called Traceability Matrix or Test Responsibility Matrix.This can be developed by the Project Manager.

The matrix is like this.There are 15 testing issues and 5 development stages.

testing issues\development	SRS	Designing	Coding	System Testing	Maintainence
Ease of use
Authorization
Access Control
Performance
...
..........

here the project manager is going to map the testing issues to development stages.

So the test engineers while conducting testing they have to follow this TRM which was developed by Project Manager.

Trash,,,

TRM and traceability matrix is not equal buddy...

Test Responsibility matrix is what u told whereas the traceability matrix is used only to trace the things..

So plzz correct it out...

Traceability matrix is where the test plan author,generally the TL,reviews the testcases prepared by test engineers.Here the TL verifies whether the testcases written cover all the Business Requirements or not.He also rejects/deletes extra/not required testcases.

BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS	S/W REQUIREMENTS	TESTCASES
1 ? BRS(Business Requirement Specifiaction)	1.01 ? S/W requirement specification	1.01.01 - testcase A
		1.01.02 - testcase B
		1.01.03
	1.02- S/W requirement specification	1.02.01 - testcase A
		1.02.02 - testcase B
		1.02.03
2 ? BRS(Business Requirement Specifiaction)	2.01 ? S/W requirement specification	2.01.01 - testcase A
		2.01.02 - testcase B
		2.01.03
	2.02- S/W requirement specification	2.02.01 - testcase A
		2.02.02 - testcase B
		2.02.03

Whereas Test Responsibity Matrix(TRM) is a 15x5(15 cross 5) matrix,which includes 15 testing factors & 5 development stages.Here the author(PM/QA/TL) make a list as to which testing factors are required/needed for their particular type of project.

Here is an example of a Requirements Traceability Matrix:

Project Name	Test Case Number	Requirement Number / Document Reference	System Requirements Specification	Business Requirements Document	Work-flow Diagram Number	Wireframe Number
Clarity 10	RC-001	3.2.15	Yes	n/a	n/a	n/a
Clarity 10	RC-101	5.5.3b	Yes	n/a	n/a	n/a
Clarity 10	MB-201	32	n/a	n/a	Yes	n/a
Clarity 10	LT-701	Item B	n/a	n/a	n/a	Yes
Clarity 10	HY-301	12.3.32	n/a	Yes	n/a	n/a

In our company, the test lead or tester is responsible for mapping requirements to test cases.
