The Build Filter
At the top of the Requirements Traceability Matrix page, you'll see a new dropdown labeled Build: (visible only when Builds are enabled).
Using the Filter
Click the Build dropdown to see all available builds in your project
Builds are shown with their version and environment, e.g., "v2.14.1 - Production"
Select a build to filter the matrix for that build
Leave it blank (or click the X to clear) to view the global view with no build filter
When you select a build, a blue chip appears showing "Coverage as of v2.14.1" (or whatever build you selected).
What Changes in the Matrix When a Build is Selected
Without a Build Filter (Global View)
The matrix shows the latest status of each requirement based on all test executions ever run against it, regardless of which build was being tested.
With a Build Filter (Build-Scoped View)
The matrix shows the status of each requirement based only on test executions that ran against the selected build.
Example
Requirement: "User can login with email"
Global view: Passed (because the most recent execution passed)
Build-scoped to v2.14.0: Passed (the plan linked to v2.14.0 ran and passed)
Build-scoped to v2.14.1: Not executed (the plan linked to v2.14.1 hasn't been run yet)
This is powerful for checking: "Did we test all our requirements against Release 2.14?"
Exporting Build-Scoped Coverage
When you export the Requirements Traceability Matrix as CSV (using the Export button), the exported file includes:
All the standard RTM columns (requirements, test cases, status)
An extra Build column showing which build the coverage is scoped to
A build-stamped filename, e.g.,
rtm-export-v2.14.1.csv
This provides an auditable artifact showing exactly which requirements were covered against a specific software version.
How to Export
Select a build using the Build filter
Click the Export button
The CSV file downloads with the build version in the filename and an extra Build column in the data
Example filename: rtm-export-v2.14.1.csv Example row: Requirement: Login, Test Case: Test_Login, Status: Passed, Build: v2.14.1
