Which of the following is a document, usually in the form of a table, that correlates any two baseline documents that require a many-to-many relationship to determine the completeness of the relationship.
Click on the arrows to vote for the correct answer
A. B. C. D.C.
The document described in the question is a traceability matrix.
A traceability matrix is a tool used in project management, particularly in the context of software development and system engineering, to ensure that all requirements are fulfilled and that testing and verification are conducted thoroughly. The matrix is a table that correlates any two baseline documents that require a many-to-many relationship to determine the completeness of the relationship. It shows the relationship between the requirements or features of one document with those of another document, such as design documents, test plans, and user manuals.
The purpose of a traceability matrix is to ensure that all requirements are covered by tests, and that all features are covered in documentation. By using a traceability matrix, developers and testers can verify that all requirements have been met, that features are implemented as specified, and that testing is comprehensive. The matrix helps identify any gaps in the coverage of requirements, design, and testing.
Option A, FIPS 200, is a standard that provides guidelines for categorizing information and information systems according to risk levels. It does not pertain to the concept of a traceability matrix.
Option B, NIST SP 800-50, is a guideline for building secure information systems. It covers security planning, risk assessment, system design, and other aspects of information security. It does not pertain to the concept of a traceability matrix.
Option D, FIPS 199, is a standard that defines the categories of information sensitivity (i.e., the levels of confidentiality, integrity, and availability) and provides guidelines for determining the appropriate level of protection for information systems. It does not pertain to the concept of a traceability matrix.
Therefore, the correct answer is C, Traceability matrix.
