Traceability creates transparency at every step of development, including which tasks were completed and when, ultimately enabling your team to confidently verify that the application works as expected. In life sciences and other regulated industries, the definition of traceability extends even further – all the way through validation and approvals required for compliance.

In life sciences, achieving this end-to-end traceability is crucial. To maintain compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) policies, teams must provide a clear audit trail that links requirements to test cases, results, reviews, and approvals, ensuring thorough validation and verification of the software. The easier it is to find this information, the smoother an audit will be.

Read this eBook to learn how traceability can boost:

• What needs to be tested and how to understand what’s changing and what needs to be tested to create test plans organized by requirement.
• How to find and fix bugs faster and achieve smoother collaboration across all stakeholders in the SDLC, from product management to developers, testers, release managers, and approvers.
• How to speed up approval lifecycles: Organize your test plan by requirements to help approvers quickly understand whether your test plan achieves sufficient requirements coverage.
