How can I create traceability matrix for the issues

How to create traceability matrix between the issues and the test cases, and the user stories?

Hi @Bishoy Jacob 

Are you using any test management app for creating and managing test cases?

If not, you can try AIO Tests - Test Management for Jira.

It comes with inbuilt traceability reports - Traceability Summary and Traceability Detailed. Once you link your stories and test cases, traceability reports can be easily generated.

Take a look at our extensive documentation and release notes for other features updates. Contact us in case of any questions via our support portal or book a demo at your convenience.

Regards,
AIO Tests Team

Hi @Bishoy Jacob  ,
Jira by default doesn't provide a traceability matrix.

You can instal one application dedicated to Requirement/Test Management. Most of them have the ability to create a Traceability Matrix. I can suggest to you an application which Product Owner I am and which traceability matrix collects great review from customers.
The application I mean is Requirements and Test Management for Jira (RTM). Of course, if you need any help, just ask me about it. :)

Hi @Bishoy Jacob

There's a app for Confluence named Xray Reports for Confluence that can serve this purpose, if you're using Xray for Test Management.

This app allows you to embed testing reports, based on data from Xray Test Management, directly into your pages in Confluence. It provides several macros tailored for this, that allow you, for example, to track traceability.

It is a macro that provides preview on the results, before publishing the page, and allows interaction with the chart, for example to expand epics and see the related story issues.

To get it working, you'll need to follow these steps, which require installing not just this app on Confluence but also a "Connector" app in your Jira instance:

1. install the Xray Reports Connector for Jira app on your Jira cloud instance
2. install the Xray Reports app in your Confluence cloud instance
3. configure the Xray API client id and client secret on the settings of the Xray Reports for Confluence app; you need to obtain the client id and client secret from your Xray API Key settings, in your Jira cloud instance

More info on the installation steps here.

Hi Bishoy,

For your use case its worth checking Jira Snapshots for Confluence. it's a Confluence App which can create traceability reports from Jira. It was created for managing requirements and traceability, and can report on as many levels as you need, with flexibility of what columns are shown.
If you use XRAY for test management then it also has specific integration/support to Xray fields. 
(Also- in case you do not have Confluence, this app can be installed on the free version of Confluence)

(Disclosure I'm a developer working on this paid app, but it can definitely be a potential solution.)
