AI agent for systems analysts

Requirements Traceability Agent

Every in-scope requirement is linked to delivered work and a passing test

Requirements Traceability Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Analysts write requirements, but proving each one was built and tested is hard when they live in documents, tickets and test tools. Each week, or when sign-off is requested, this agent reads requirements, tickets and test results and links each requirement to its design items, tickets and test cases. It builds a traceability matrix and flags requirements with no ticket, no test, a failed test, or a test older than the requirement's latest wording. A requirement is complete only with a closed ticket and a passing test against its current version. It sends named questions to the right owners, waits for updates and checks again. Deferred requirements need an explicit out-of-scope note. It prepares the matrix and a gap summary, and the analyst approves before sign-off. Edge case: when a requirement's wording changes, its old tests are marked stale because they may test the old version.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A requirement is complete only when it has a closed ticket and a passing test run against its current version.

  • Changed requirements mark their tests stale
  • Failed tests count as gaps
  • Deferred requirements need an explicit out-of-scope note

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Tools connected
  • Run schedule
  • Completion rules
  • Matrix format

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Matrix for sign-off
  • Marking a requirement out of scope

Hard limits

  • Never edits requirements
  • Read-only on test results

It stops when

  • Done: full coverage approved
  • Stop: an owner does not respond before sign-off, list the gap in the sign-off pack

An example run

What happensBefore the October 15 sign-off, 140 requirements were checked. Twelve had no test and four had tests written before their wording changed. The completeness check failed, so the agent sent 16 questions to test leads. After owners linked tests and reran them, the recheck left two gaps. Both were features moved to phase two. The analyst added out-of-scope notes and approved the matrix.
