Tailoring Software Traceability to Value-Based Needs.doc 10.03.2005 3.1 Tailoring Software Traceability to Value-Based Needs
نویسنده
چکیده
Software development generates and maintains a wide range of artifacts, such as documentation, requirements, design models, and test scenarios; all of which add value to the understanding of the software system. Trace dependencies identify the relationships among these artifacts. They contribute to the better understanding of a software system as they link its distributed knowledge. Trace dependencies are also vital for many automated analyses including the impact of change and consistency checking. This chapter compares the problem of manual traceability versus automated traceability with the Trace/Analyzer approach. This chapter also explores how to tailor precision, completeness, correctness, and timeliness to adjust the trace analysis to value-based needs.

Tool Support for Traceability-Adaptation
[Context & motivation] Traceability of software engineering artifacts is important in software development. Tools are used to establish traceability between software engineering artifacts. [Problem] One of the open traceability challenges is the traceability-configuration during usage. At any time within a project, the traceability information model (TIM) should be adaptable to changing context...
متن کاملRequirements Traceability across Organizational Boundaries - A Survey and Taxonomy
[Context and motivation] Outsourcing of software development is an attractive business model. Companies expect cost reduction, enhanced efficiency, and exploited external resources. However, this paradigmatic shift also introduces challenges as stakeholders are spread across distinct organizations. [Question/problem] Requirements traceability supports stakeholders in satisfying information need...
متن کاملTraceability-Why Do It?
Traceability of software artifacts, from requirements to design and through implementation and quality assurance, has long been promoted by the research and expert practitioner communities. However, evidence indicates that, with the exception of those operating in the safety critical domain, few software companies choose to implement traceability processes, in the most part due to cost and comp...
متن کاملA Component-Based Model-Driven Approach with traceability of concerns: Railway RBC Handover Case Study
In this paper, we introduce a domain-specific component-based approach with traceability of concerns. It is based on the separation of concerns, which is a long well known fundamental principle of software engineering but some time neglected in practice. Our approach is included in the V-based development process prescribed by the CENELEC EN-50128 standard of railway control and protection syst...
متن کاملAutonomic tracing of production processes with mobile and agent-based computing
Tracing items in a supply chain, across different enterprises and through the full processes scope, is today an inherently complex design task. Enterprises are typically comprised of hundreds of applications that are custom built at different times, acquired from third parties and parts of legacy systems, and also operating in multiple tiers of different manufacturing and information system pla...
