It is used widely in many industries including agriculture, business, government and others. While it has different meanings, in the computer world it is a requirement for any Software Development LifeCycle (SDLC)used by any of the development processes (Rational, etc.) and means tracing requirements back to the design through the User Requirements, Functional Specification, and full lifecycle. In the FDA world, this is a requirement for all of the Qualifications of a manufacturing or computerized system. These Qualifications are (in order): the Design Qualification (DQ), Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ) and Performance Qualification (PQ). Traceability is fulfilled by through tracing the qualification requirements for each of these documents. Note: While this term has been used extensively in the computer world to ensure quality validation and verification, oddly enough Microsoft Word has never recognized it as a recognized word in its dictionary and will always come up as a spelling error. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Non-notable_external_links" data-mw-thread-id="h-Non-notable_external_links-2007-11-09T19:31:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Non-notable_external_links-2007-11-09T19:31:00.000Z"></span>Non-notable external links<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Non-notable_external_links-2007-11-09T19:31:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Traceability&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Non-notable external links"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-CoderGnome-2007-11-09T19:31:00.000Z-Non-notable_external_links"></span>There are a lot of external links on this article, some of which I think should be removed: </p> <ul><li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.fqcode.com/"><b>FQcode</b> | Traceability Solutions</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.intact.cc">Intact Consult - Consultancy and software solutions for internal and supply chain traceability</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.historicfutures.com">Historic Futures Ltd - Specialists in complete end to end supply chain traceability in multiple product sectors</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.tracetracker.com">TraceTracker, a leader in whole-chain traceability in the food industry</a></li> <li><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.flexwareinnovation.com/wiki">Flexware Innovation: Traceability in manufacturing</a></li></ul> <p>If anyone can vouch that these are notable enough to include in this article, then I'll leave them.

This is not the case. The definition provided by the "International Vocabulary of Basic and General Terms in Metrology (VIM)" states "traceability [is a] property of the result of a measurement or the value of a standard...". This definition indicates that traceability extends to the measurement result and does not stop at the calibrated instrument. The subheading Calibration under the Traceability main heading promote this misunderstanding. I would recommend changing the subheading from calibration to measurement. --<a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Bestshot&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Bestshot (page does not exist)">Bestshot</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bestshot&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:Bestshot (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Traceability#c-Bestshot-2008-03-29T18:43:00.000Z-Traceability:_Calibration" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Bestshot-2008-03-29T18:43:00.000Z-Traceability:_Calibration"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Bestshot-2008-03-29T18:43:00.000Z-Traceability:_Calibration"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-77.96.121.94-2010-07-07T20:56:00.000Z-Traceability:_Calibration"></span>The VIM defintions of traceability all refer to "measurement traceability" or "traceability of measurement" and it is worth using these specific and explanatory terms to distinguish this from other traceability concepts. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/77.96.121.94" title="Special:Contributions/77.96.121.94">77.96.121.94</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:77.96.121.94&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:77.96.121.94 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Traceability#c-77.96.121.94-2010-07-07T20:56:00.000Z-Traceability:_Calibration" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC)</a></span><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-77.96.121.94-2010-07-07T20:56:00.000Z-Traceability:_Calibration"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-77.96.121.94-2010-07-07T20:56:00.000Z-Traceability:_Calibration"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Software" data-mw-thread-id="h-Software-2010-07-14T16:41:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Software-2010-07-14T16:41:00.000Z"></span>Software<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Software-2010-07-14T16:41:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Traceability&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Software"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Alex_Pascual-2010-07-14T16:41:00.000Z-Software"></span>This section contains a sentence that I believe is worded incorrectly. Where is says: "refers to the ability to link product documentation requirements back to stakeholders' rationales" , I believe it should say: "refers to the ability to link product requirements documentation back to stakeholders' rationales I understand that the first sentence (the one currently in the article as of 7-14-10) should be interpreted as meaning "those requirements contained in the product documentation". But that is not the only way it may be read. It may also be interpreted as meaning: "The requirements to which documentation is subjected" or in other words requirements on the documentation and not documentation of the requirements. My suggested wording would make it more clear that "requirements" are those set on the product and not on the documentation. The documentation is that which lists the product requirements. I'll leave it for someone else to make the correction. I may just make the correction myself if there is no feedback on this for a few weeks. <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Alex_Pascual&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Alex Pascual (page does not exist)">Alex Pascual</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Alex_Pascual&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:Alex Pascual (page does not exist)">talk</a> • <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Alex_Pascual" title="Special:Contributions/Alex Pascual">contribs</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Traceability#c-Alex_Pascual-2010-07-14T16:41:00.000Z-Software" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:41, 14 July 2010 (UTC)</a></span></small><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Alex_Pascual-2010-07-14T16:41:00.000Z-Software"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Alex_Pascual-2010-07-14T16:41:00.000Z-Software"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="External_links_modified" data-mw-thread-id="h-External_links_modified-2018-01-13T02:20:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-External_links_modified-2018-01-13T02:20:00.000Z"></span>External links modified<span data-mw-comment-end="h-External_links_modified-2018-01-13T02:20:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Traceability&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: External links modified"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-InternetArchiveBot-2018-01-13T02:20:00.000Z-External_links_modified"></span>Hello fellow Wikipedians, </p><p>I have just modified 2 external links on <a href="/wiki/Traceability" title="Traceability">Traceability</a>.
