A selection of dog tags (English, American and German) found by David Murray, 39, of Much Hadham, Hertfordshire, after he discovered a World War II prisoner of war camp at the bottom of his back garden.

the RTM(Requirements Trace Matrix ) is used as a test planning tool to help determine how many tests are required, what types of tests are required, whether tests can be automated or manual, and if any existing tests can be re-used. Using the RTM in this way helps ensure that the resulting tests are most effective.
In what must be my 11,000th explanation of the term, RTM stands for release to manufacturing, the time at which a product team, in this case the Windows team at Microsoft, signs off on the final release code for the product in question, in this case Windows.
