Interpreting the Trace Score calculation

The Trace Score is the overall percentage (0–100%) of the expected relationships in the project. You can generate a Trace Score at any level in your project — for example, system requirements, validation, or test.

The Trace Score is scoped to the contents of the diagram, which can be configured through the diagram settings.  The score is based on the total number of expected relationships between the items (as defined by the relationship rules set by the project admin).

For example, if you have one item that can be related to three different items, the expected number of relationships is three. If you have two of those items, the expected number of relationships is six.

Next to the Trace Score, select Calculation (calculator button) to view a detailed summary of the Trace Score calculation and the configuration settings that influence the score.
