    RTM is bi-directional?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    RTM stands for Requirements Traceability Matrix. It is a document that links requirements to their respective design, development, and testing activities. It helps in ensuring that all requirements are addressed and tested. The bi-directional nature of RTM means that it allows tracing requirements both forwards and backwards. Forward tracing ensures that each requirement is linked to its corresponding design and testing activities, while backward tracing ensures that each design and testing activity is linked to its corresponding requirement. Therefore, the given answer "True" is correct as RTM is indeed bi-directional.
