Tool Support for Traceability-Adaptation
نویسنده
چکیده
[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 contexts and needs. [Principal idea] Our approach for adaptable traceability is based on two main ideas. First, the TIM can be configured based on a comprehensive meta-model. Second, a TIM-repository enables consistent management of adapted TIMs and artifacts and links instantiated from it. [Contribution] This paper describes the problem, related work, main solution ideas, research methodology and progress so far.

Interaction Centric Requirements Traceability
Requirement Traceability provides the ability to follow the life-cycle of a requirement from its evolution till subsequent refinement and use. A key issue that restricts the adaptation of approaches to create and maintain these relationships is the lack of tool support that employs a centralized repository for heterogeneous artifacts. Different artifacts are stored in different repositories and...
متن کاملAcquiring Tool Support for Traceability
Which traceability tool?’ is a question that many organisations can spend time and resources considering. It has long been a perception that a tool, once acquired and installed on a project, can address all of its traceability-related needs. However, the purchase or development of a tool to support traceability can be a costly decision. Not only can the tool become shelf-ware, organisations can...

متن کاملMultifaceted Requirement Traceability Approach to Support Software Evolution
Software evolution is inevitable. When a system evolves, there are certain relationships among software artifacts that must be maintained. Requirement traceability is one of importance factor in facilitating software evolution since it maintains the artifacts relationship before and after a change is performed. Requirements traceability can be expensive activities. Many researchers have address...
