Full Traceability Report
Protocols through Design Documents
Introduction
The purpose of the Full Traceability Report – Protocols through Design Documents is to list the requirements, desk procedures, and design documents that trace from the Marketplace Protocols, indicating full coverage of SPP’s implementation of the Protocols for Integrated Marketplace. The report shows each traceable Protocol statement, followed by the related artifacts that carry out the intent of the Protocols. Each artifact listed is shown at its highest level, providing the requirement name, procedure name, or reference document name, along with its unique alpha-numeric identifier.
Following is a sample of the content found in this report, including a legend for interpretation. Protocols, requirements, procedures, and design documents are assigned unique identifiers, which aid in traceability.
