I keep hearing about traceability in projects. Why is linking requirements, code, and tests such a big deal?

Traceability helps teams track every requirement from planning through implementation and testing. It ensures nothing is missed, validates compliance, and quickly identifies the root of any defect. This is especially crucial in regulated industries where audit trails are mandatory.

To me, traceability prevents confusion during changes. When a requirement updates, developers can see exactly which components and tests are affected. This reduces rework, improves collaboration, and ensures the final product actually satisfies what stakeholders asked for.
