Requirements traceability matrix
Teams keep the traceability matrix in spreadsheets, and the data loses accuracy after the first sprint. Testomat.io builds the matrix from live links: requirements connect to tests, and tests carry run results. The matrix stays fresh after every run.

Testomat.io features for requirements traceability matrix
Matrix in the Jira plugin
The plugin builds the traceability matrix for user stories. You check test coverage in sprints and projects right in Jira. Product and QA read the same matrix.
Requirements
The Requirements page collects requirements from Jira, Confluence, or files. Each requirement shows its linked suites and a structured summary. The matrix grows from these links.
Requirement sources
A requirement starts from a source: a Jira issue, a Confluence page, or a PDF file. The system analyzes the description and builds a structured summary. You read the essence of a requirement without the original document.
AI coverage analysis
AI reviews the tests linked to a requirement and finds the gaps. It suggests missing test cases or generates a suite. The matrix fills faster, with less manual test design.
Run results in the matrix
Linked tests carry their run results. The matrix shows coverage with real pass and fail data, instead of a list of links. Release decisions follow the facts.

Frequently asked questions
What is a requirements traceability matrix?
A table that connects requirements to the tests that verify them. It shows which requirements have coverage, which tests passed, and where the gaps wait for work.
How does Testomat.io build the matrix?
From the links in the project. You connect tests, suites, and plans to user stories, and the matrix assembles from these links with fresh run results.
Where do I see the matrix?
In the Jira plugin. The matrix shows test coverage for user stories in sprints and projects, so product managers read it without a QA tool.
Does the matrix show test results?
Yes. Backlog and sprint coverage reports include run results, so the matrix shows real pass and fail data for every story.
Can AI help with coverage gaps?
Yes. AI analyzes the tests linked to a requirement, suggests the missing cases, and generates suites. The features work from the Professional plan with AI enabled.
