Description

Traceability of artefacts induces the means of understanding the complexity of logical relations existing among artefacts that are created during software development. In turn, this provides the necessary knowledge for reasoning about the quality of software. With the inception of Model-Driven Software Engineering, the advantage of generating traceability information automatically, eases the problem of creating and maintaining trace links, which is a labor intensive task, when done manually. Yet, there is still a wide range of open challenges in existing traceability solutions regarding the effort to achieve the automatic generation of trace links. Secondly, an existing transformation engine is not always given in model-based development upon which trace links may be leveraged through the integral transformation mapping. This talk gives an overview on existing traceability solutions and their shortcomings in Model-Driven Software Engineering. Furthermore, a generic traceability framework is proposed for tackling the above-mentioned problems. Essentially, this framework holds for the augmentation of arbitrary model transformation approaches with a traceability mechanism. Additionally, it incorporates a language-agnostic model matching framework allowing for the generation of trace links in the absence of a transformation engine.
