In a process-compliant approach to testing a safety-critical project, test automation must ensure traceability back to the requirements and results documentation. This is crucial for verifying that all requirements have been tested and for maintaining a clear record of test results and their correlation with the specified requirements. Traceability is a key aspect of maintaining the rigor and discipline required in safety-critical systems testing.
