The goal of testing is to ensure whether all the requirements are covered in testing, in all possible combinations. When requierments grow in size, tests also grow in size. It will become difficult to manage which requirement is tested in which test case. QAMonitor provides excellent traceability mechanism to map requirements and test cases.
