Tracing Requirements
 
 
The Role of Traceability inSystems Development
Experience has shown that the ability totrace requirements artifacts through thestages of specification, architecture,design, implementation, and testing is asignificant factor in assuring a qualityproduct.
Software developed in many areas for certain customers may have mandatedtraceability requirements (e.g. the FDA).
 
 
Definition of Traceability
According to IEEE [1994] traceability is:
“The degree to which a relationship can beestablished between two or more products of thedevelopment process, especially products having apredecessor-successor or master-subordinaterelationship to one another; for example the degreeto which the requirements and design of a givensoftware component match.”
“The degree to which each element in a softwaredevelopment product establishes its reason for existing; for example, the degree to which eachelement in a bubble chart references therequirement it satisfies.”
