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.

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