Use this interactive demo to learn how to build a requirement traceability matrix using Zephyr Scale in Jira.

Quick summary

A requirement traceability matrix in Jira can be generated directly through the Zephyr Scale plugin by navigating to its Reports section and selecting the Traceability Matrix report type. This process links test cases to project requirements automatically, giving QA and development teams instant end-to-end test coverage visibility.


Steps

  1. In the left-side panel, click Zephyr Scale to open the plugin.
  2. Click the Reports tab inside Zephyr Scale.
  3. Select Traceability from the available report categories.
  4. Browse the list of report options and select Traceability Matrix.
  5. Configure the settings and provide the required project information for the matrix.
  6. Click Generate to run the report.
  7. The requirement traceability matrix is instantly created based on the data from your Jira project.

📌 Why this matters

A requirement traceability matrix is essential for QA teams that need to verify every project requirement is covered by a corresponding test case. Using Zephyr Scale inside Jira, teams can generate this matrix automatically without leaving their existing workflow, eliminating manual spreadsheet tracking. This tight integration between test management and project requirements helps organizations meet compliance standards, reduce release risk, and maintain full visibility into test coverage across the entire software development lifecycle.
