Today’s systems in industrial practice - no matter if this is a car or a plant or a software system - are getting more and more complex. Thus a detailed description of functional and non-functional requirements and their tracing throughout the development process are indispensable as they also depend on each other, from design to verification to implementation and test. This traceability over the whole V cycle is also explicitly required by standards like the ISO 26262 or the ISO 15504. Safety critical systems demand a high quality which must be measured and guaranteed. Each requirement must be implemented and its fulfillment demonstrated by verification and testing. Therefore, it is essential to prove that the system has been tested for each requirement.
