Abstract

Software development can achieve interesting benefits through the use of requirements traceability, including improved program comprehension, easier maintenance, component reuse, impact analysis, and measure of project progress and completeness. On the other hand, while the cost of a new IS can be estimated by applying Function Point Analysis, this technique has limited application on maintenance. By determining the impact of changing a given set of features, IS development organizations can build a clear understanding of the effort that these changes will require. In this paper, we propose a technique which uses traceability to build a bridge between function points and source code. We believe that this technique can support negotiations between IS development organizations and their clients regarding changes to Information Systems.
