Question we want to address
• Traceability can be assessed with respect to some
qualities (or objectives)
• Traceability is achieved through some means
• Our question: What means should be engaged to
satisfy a given (set of) quality(ies) ?
– is good for / is bad for
2
Qualities
(tailored from ISO 9126-1*)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Reliability* (trust / consistency)
Usability* (comprehensability / exploitability)
Noise / minimality / Fitness
Efficiency* (timing)
Maintainability
Interoperability*
Completeness
Certifiability
3
Qualities expected
• from a Trace Model/Link?
• For Process Traceability?

Means to Achieve Quality
Constructive Quality Assurance
• Manual traceability
• Natural Language Processing
• Information Retrieval (+ Domain Knowledge)
– Data mining
– machine learning
• Rules based techniques
• Evolutionary Algorithms
