What is the advantage of using a requirements matrix ?
It is uselfull as text based documentation is possible
It is helpful when a set of requirements that are complex but uniform can be broken down and documented .
It is easy to write the requirements in matrix formats .
It is useful as model based documentation is possible
It is helpful when a set of requirements that are complex but uniform can be broken down and documented .
