Software Artefact Traceability: the Never-Ending Challenge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software artefact traceability is widely recognised as an important factor for the effective development and maintenance of a software system. Unfortunately, the lack of automatic or semi-automatic supports makes the task of maintaining links among software artefacts a tedious and time consuming one. For this reason, often traceability information becomes out of date or it is completely absent during software development. In this working session, we discuss problems and challenges related to various aspects of traceability in software systems.

متن کاملSupporting Traceability and Inconsistency Management between Software Artefacts
Software artefacts at different levels of abstraction are closely inter-related. Developers require support for managing these inter-relationships as artefacts evolve during development. We describe a conceptual architecture and prototype for supporting traceability and inconsistency management between software requirements descriptions, UML-style use case models and black-box test plans. Key i...

This technical report offers a vision for traceability in software and systems engineering and outlines eight challenges that need to be addressed in order to achieve it. One of these challenges is referred to as the grand challenge of traceability because making traceability ubiquitous in software and systems development (traceability challenge eight) demands progress with all seven other chal...
متن کاملThe Role of Requirements Traceability in System Development
In the field of software development, there is never a shortage of debates regarding the relative merits of methods, practices, and specific techniques for analysis, design, and coding activities. Not far from the top of the "most controversial" list is the topic of requirements traceability and its role in defining and implementing systems. Although the arguments may well go on for decades, an...
