This is the software testing directory’s top pick for the many requirements traceability templates freely available on the internet. What we like about this template is its presentation style as well as allowance for many traceable documents as well as a status for the functional requirement.

This is a software tool that allows for the entry of the various components that can be referenced to requirements, including design, test and implementation (code objects). This type of tool compares with commercial tools such as Quality Center from HP, in that it can be used to organize the test cases that are requirements based.

This is another NASA resource and shows some entries in simple traceability matrix. We include it because it sheds some light on the possible values of the Verification column, used in the cdc gov template, previously referenced in the software testing directory.
