A physical coverage grid has one visibly unfilled place.

Trace links

Criterion ID

Use one stable identifier for one measurable condition.

Coverage map

Scenario ID

Link a scenario that actually addresses the criterion, not merely one in the same feature.

Coverage map

Unmatched

An empty link is visible work to resolve before release discussion.

Coverage map

Shared path

Shared coverage may be useful, but the expected observation still needs to be clear for each condition.

Coverage map

Changed criterion

A changed criterion can invalidate prior scenario links even when an ID remains the same.

Coverage map

Coverage limit

Traceability shows a relationship, not execution or evidence that a product behaved correctly.

CriterionScenarioObservation

A named scenario connects work. Evidence still needs to be recorded separately.

Coverage map

Enter criterion IDs and their scenario IDs. The map shows unmatched or duplicated links without calling them a pass.

Unlinked work visible?

A drafted test, an observed result and a release decision are different events. Keep each one tied to the product you actually checked.
