Abstract

We present a traceability recovery method and tool based on Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) in the context of an artefact management system. The tool highlights the candidate links not identified yet by the software engineer and the links identified but missed by the tool, probably due to inconsistencies in the usage of domain terms in the traced software artefacts. We also present a case study of using the traceability recovery tool on software artefacts belonging to different categories of documents, including requirement, design, and testing documents, as well as code components.
