In this paper, we propose to establish traceability of functional requirements expressed in a SRS document in analysis and design phase that goes down to the coding phase. UML has become a de-facto standard for modeling object-oriented systems. To ensure traceability of requirements in different phases of software lifecycle, it is also mandatory to ensure consistency between different UML diagrams used in those different phases. Here, after specifying some rules to trace requirements and verify consistency, we formally represent functional requirement UML Use case diagram, and some other UML diagrams that are widely used for analyzing and designing object-oriented systems, using Z notation. At the end we represent the formalized functional requirement and the UML diagrams along with their relationship visually using Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram. Implementation of our approach would bridge the gap between a formal language, which is mathematical and difficult to understand and UML that is visual and easy to comprehend. Development of a tool based on this approach would generate a visual representation of formalized functional requirements and their traceability among different UML diagrams, from which automated traceability of requirement in different phases of software development and consistency verification between different UML diagrams can be achieved.
