Query:Business Use case and test case Traceability

[Arvind Verma]

Is it possible to generate a traceability between every use case flow to a corresponding test case to it. For e.g. a use case can have one basic path and multiple alternative and error flows. Is it possible to generate a one to one traceability between basic, alternative and error conditions and corresponding test cases. We have already gone through the these links available but could find answer to the above query:

What do you mean by "generate a one to one traceability"?

If you want to see a real connection then the answer is no. You can't link anything to a scenario.

You can link it to the element an use a similar name to identify it.

Geert,
Thank you for your response.

"One to one traceability" -- What I meant by that was "A basic use case flow to a test case traceability, one alternate use case flow to a test case traceability" and so on. Each test case that gets generated automatically, mapping it to different flow in the use case.
When you say "you can link it to the element" can you please give me an example to understand it better. We are struggling a lot to get good traceability between our Business Use cases to test cases.
Thank you

I'm not a tester, but I'd create the test cases and <<trace>> them to the according use cases.

That's what we do. We then "import" the use case scenario of the related use case into our test case.

The downside is that this is a one-time copy. Once copied you don't have a hard relation between the use case scenario and the test case.
