Abstract

traceMaintainer is a tool that maintains post-requirements traceability amongst the elements of structural UML models. The maintenance of traceability relations is based upon predefined rules. Each rule recognizes a development activity applied to a model element. traceMaintainer carries out associated traceability updates in the background after an activity has been completed, requiring minimal manual effort and limited interaction with the developer. Currently, traceMaintainer can be used with two commercial software development (CASE) tools to update the traceability relations stored within them, while the underlying approach extends further to maintaining traceability within a heterogeneous and distributed environment of tools.
