In the world of software engineering, we have robust CI/CD pipelines that ensure code traceability. We know exactly which commit caused a build failure.
However, in Infrastructure Systems Engineering (Infrastructure SE), traceability is often broken. The documentation says one thing, the server configuration says another, and the test specification says a third. Verifying that the design intent matches the actual state is usually a manual process involving screenshots, spreadsheets, and human eyeballing.
