An Industrial Case Study in Reconstructing Requirements Views

Preprint of article published in: Empirical Software Engineering (Springer), 13 (6), 2008; doi:10.1007/s10664-008-9078-4 Requirements views, such as coverage and status views, are an important asset for monitoring and managing software development projects. We have developed a method that automates the process of reconstructing these views, and...

Reconstructing Requirements Traceability in Design and Test Using Latent Semantic Indexing

Managing traceability data is an important aspect of the software development process. In this paper we define a methodology, consisting of six steps, for reconstructing requirements views using traceability data. One of the steps concerns the reconstruction of the traceability data. We investigate to what extent Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI),...

Can LSI help reconstructing requirements traceability in design and test?

Managing traceability data is an important aspect of the software development process. In this paper we investigate to what extent latent semantic indexing (LSI), an information retrieval technique, can help recovering the information needed for automatically reconstructing traceability during the development process. We experimented with two...

Monitoring Requirements Coverage Using Reconstructed Views: An Industrial Case Study

Requirements views, such as coverage and status views, are an important asset for monitoring and managing software development. We have developed a method that automates the process for reconstructing these views, and built a tool, ReqAnalyst, to support this method. In this paper, we investigate to what extent we can automatically generate...
