Requirements Traceability and Validation Questions

Techniques and practices for ensuring implemented solutions meet documented requirements through systematic traceability and validation. Topics include building and maintaining a traceability matrix that links requirements to design artifacts and test cases, mapping acceptance criteria to test scenarios, measuring test coverage, handling requirement changes and versioning, gating releases on acceptance criteria, escalating and tracking unresolved defects, and planning verification activities after deployment. Interviewers assess candidates on methods to prove end to end coverage, practical tooling and documentation approaches, and how they prevent regression or scope drift.
