Return to Requirements

Logical Traceability SHALL support backward review from logical element to conceptual source.

Part 2, Section 16.9: Logical Traceability Requirements.

Backward traceability enables reviewers to determine the conceptual basis for every logical element. This capability supports governance, architectural review, impact analysis, and confidence that logical definitions remain consistent with their conceptual origins.

This requirement applies to the Logical Traceability Model.

It applies specifically to:

• Logical elements;
• Conceptual elements;
• Architectural reviews; and
• Governance activities.

Verification SHALL confirm that Logical Traceability supports backward review from logical elements to conceptual sources.

Verification activities should include review checks confirming that:

• logical elements identify conceptual sources;
• conceptual intent can be reconstructed;
• backward navigation is possible; and
• architectural consistency is preserved.

This requirement supports traceability from the Part 2 Logical Architecture back to the Part 1 Conceptual Architecture.
