Requirement Traceability

In the software development cycle, the requirement traceability link is one of the important factors. Information retrieval techniques typically produce links with low precision and/or recall because, due to their very nature, they depend on the textual similarity between requirements and source code. The developers may not evolve requirements in synchronization with source code. But, they frequently update other sources of information including CVS/SVN repositories, bug-tracking systems, mailing lists, forums, and blogs. These sources of information will be used to build improved requirement traceability-recovery approaches. After the source code was developed, the developer compiles the source code and commits the source code into versions. Then admin needs to compare the templates and versions based on similarity measurement. Based on textual comparison, the similarity is calculated. The admin can do the same process for the forum requirements.

Requirement Traceability

Representation of Pre-RST information is very useful using visualized elements for realization of benefits of requirement traceability. This improves the practitioner motivation to maintain Pre-RST information during life cycle processes. Few researchers proposed visualization for Post-RST due to which many benefits of requirement traceability cannot be realized. This paper proposed an improved visualization representing Pre-RST information that demonstrates various benefit of requirement traceability. In order to evaluate empirically, an experiment is conducted and textual representation of traceability information is obtained. In order to strengthen our claim a survey is conducted to compare textual representation of traceability information with proposed visualization and results are compiled.
