For teams tracking requirements as GitLab issues, TestCollab provides an Requirements Traceability Matrix that surfaces gaps in test coverage instantly.
How it works
All GitLab issues selected as requirements appear in the Requirements Traceability Matrix.
The matrix highlights coverage status (covered, uncovered) and test counts per requirement.
Filters are applied through title search - enter part of a requirement’s title to narrow the list. Matching is word-based, so search terms must align with beginnings of words.
Interactivity
Requirement IDs link back to GitLab issue pages.
Test case IDs open inside TestCollab.
Requirements Traceability Matrix Caveats
Because filtering is only title-based, precise search terms are needed.
If titles are inconsistent or vague, you may miss items in the matrix view.
Summary
GitLab users gain full visibility into how issues are tested. Even with simple filters, the Requirements Traceability Matrix helps QA teams identify coverage gaps without leaving TestCollab.
