# Traceability Concept

![Traceability Concept](resources/diagrams/traceability-concept.png)

Regulations are mapped as requirements work item in Azure DevOps that affect other requirements. In that way we see all regulations that affect a requirement and all requirements that are affected by a regulation. This is a bidirectional traceability.

All requirements are listed in a use case specific document. The requirements are linked to the regulations and the tests. The tests are linked to the requirements. This is a bidirectional traceability.

This results in a traceability matrix that documents the requirements from the regulation to testing.
