Abstract
Traceability relationships help stakeholders understand the many associations and dependencies that exist between software artifacts created during a software development project. Individual relationships between specific artifacts can be useful in understanding portions of the system. However, these explicit relationships are greatly outnumbered by the implicit relationships that exist between artifacts. This situation adds to the complexity of software development. Stakeholders need a way to understand all the relationships that exist in a software development project. We describe TraceM, a framework for automating the management of traceability relationships. A key contribution of TraceM is its ability to transform implicit relationships into explicit relationships by processing chains of traceability relationships. Thus, our framework has the potential to provide software developers with insight into the state of their software development projects. 1.
