It’s 6:47 PM. The go-live is tomorrow.
Your PM, Julia, leans over your desk:
“We’re sure the MFA flow was fully tested after that UI change, right?”
A simple question but your mind races. That was ticket JIRA-4815. The original requirements are in a Confluence doc titled “SSO_Requirements_FINAL_v2.” The test cases live somewhere else entirely. You open another tab, filtering by sso and mfa. Seventy-three results. Did the junior tester know to check permissions for the 'auditor' role? Julia watches the tabs fly. You want to say “Yes, absolutely.” Instead, you say:
“I… think so. Let me find out.”
It’s Not You. It’s the Process
The gap between a requirement and its proof isn’t human error. It’s a disconnected toolchain.
The Solution: A Clear, Provable Link Between Requirement and Reality
Qase Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) connects the dots. It links requirements, test cases, test runs and even bug reports into a single, comprehensive matrix.
Because it's not enough to know a test exists. You need to know:
- Does the test case cover the latest version of the requirement?
- Has that test actually been executed recently?
- If a bug was found, has it been resolved?
Qase answers all three.
From Doubt to Data in 3 Steps:
- Link your requirements from Jira, Confluence, or YouTrack.
- Connect them to the test cases that validate them.
- Generate the RTM any time to see exactly:
- Which requirements are missing test cases.
- Which tests have been executed and their results (pass/fail/blocked).
- How coverage is trending over time.
With versioned history, you can see precisely how your project evolves. Yesterday: 70 requirements with 15% test coverage. Today, after your PM added a new epic: 90 requirements, and your coverage is now 12%. No guesswork. You know exactly what’s changed, what the new risk is, and what to do next.
Imagine Julia asking you that same question tomorrow. This time, you pull up the dashboard and say:
“Coverage is at 96%. Two tests failed, here are the details.”
This is the power of moving from doubt to data.
