Can traceability be baked into the system using spec id's?

[bradphelan]

Given that I would like to verify that requirements are actually tested I would hope that some kind of ID matching a spec/requirement to a testcase could be generated. How hard to ensure a GUID for each requirement is produced and this GUID can be inserted into testcases and code. This gives the agent some guard rails. Tests without ids and code without ids are forbidden. It would also give the agent a graph to follow through the code based on requirements rather than having to reverse engineer them each time. Or is this something that is not really needed. At some point I would like a fast interface for tracing requirements to testcases to test reports. Then we have a fully closed loop system.
