INTRODUCTION

Traceability of Business Requirements against Functional Requirements, Use Cases and Test Cases is a key feature of every successful project. The traceability of the requirements among different tiers of the project is essential for any project that is to be completed on-time with efficient use of allocated resources.

SmartExcel4TFS helps users in generating two different types of traceability matrices: Requirements to Test Case Traceability Matrix and Business Requirements Traceability Matrix. The traceability generation process is quite straightforward and is elaborated here. The users can also customize their traceability matrices however this part is not covered in this guide.

During the course of this guide we would be working on the same Team Project that we used in Scenario 2.

In Step 1 of section 1 we start by accessing the Traceability Matrix through inteGREAT Portal.

Step2 deals with generating the Traceability Matrix.

Section 2 elaborates how to author and design a new report in MS-Excel



GENERATING TRACEABILITY MATRIX

STEP1: ACCESSING THE TRACEABILITY MATRIX THROUGH INTEGREAT PORTAL

1. Log into inteGREAT Portal.

2. Click the Browse link.



3. Connect to the desired Team Project.

The SmartOffice Library module is opened in inteGREAT Portal.



4. Navigate to the Traceability Matrix folder Select the file click the Open option.

5. Click on the Launch Application Button.

6. Click Yes Button on the warning message box.



7. Enter authentication details.

The Traceability Matrix is opened in MS-Excel.



STEP2: GENERATING THE TRACEABILITY MATRIX

1. Click SmartExcel4TFS Tab Refresh Button in the Ribbon Bar.

The Requirements to Test Case Traceability Matrix is generated.



2. To edit any of the Work Items click on its ID to open it in an editable window.

3. Select Business Req. with all links worksheet and again click on Refresh Button in the Ribbon Bar.



The Business Requirements Traceability Matrix is generated.



AUTHORING AND REPORTING IN EXCEL

STEP1: AUTHORING AND DESIGNING THE REPORT

1. Create a new Workbook in Excel. 2. Click the Team Tab.

3. Click the New List Button in the Ribbon Bar.



4. Connect to the desired Team Project.

The report is generated based on the selected list.

6. To arrange the columns in the report, click the Choose Column Button in the Ribbon Bar.



7. Arrange the column (adding, removing and placement at desired position) using the respective buttons.

Upon applying changes, the report is rearranged as per the updated column arrangements.



8. To add new Work Items, start by adding new rows in the report by expanding the report area as shown in

the image.

9. Enter data in the newly expanded report area and then click the Publish Button in the Ribbon Bar.



The data would be published on Team Project as Work Items and the Work Item IDs would be displayed in the respective column.

10. To make a Work Item as a child of the preceding Work Item, select the would-be child work item and then

click the Indent Button in the Ribbon Bar.



The selected Work Item is indented to show as a child of the preceding Work Item.

11. Now click the Publish Button to change the relationship on Team Project as well.

This completes our Traceability Matrix tutorial.
