What it is
- •
  verifying that every requirement is actually implemented somewhere in the design, via a mapping table (requirement → design module/artifact)
•
Strengths / weaknesses
- •
  easy to see which requirements are/aren't covered
- •
  only checks coverage, not the technical quality of the design
