14.1 Overview

Go To FX Demo Logical Traceability Model

The FX Demo Logical Traceability Model specialises the Part 2 Logical Traceability Model for the Foreign Exchange Domain.

FX logical Traceability relates FX logical profile elements to the Part 1 Conceptual Architecture, the Part 2 Distributed Node-Based Logical Architecture / PIM, later implementation mappings, deployment artefacts, test scenarios, runtime observations, and Evidence records.

The FX Demo Logical Traceability Model supports forward review from conceptual meaning to the FX logical profile element, and backward review from the FX logical profile element to inherited conceptual and logical sources. It also prepares Part 4 and Part 5 to preserve Traceability from FX logical elements to implementation artefacts, deployment artefacts, test results, operational observations, audit records, provenance records, and Evidence packages.

The FX Demo Logical Traceability Model does not prescribe a traceability tool, repository structure, modelling notation, requirements-management system, issue tracker, metadata format, evidence store, or runtime capture mechanism. Implementation, deployment, testability, and evidence plans select those mechanisms.

Figure 14-1 summarises the FX Demo logical traceability chain.
