Comparison of Global Food Traceability Regulations and Requirements

Requirements Traceability

Requirements tracing is inevitable. We do tracing when we search information and it is difficult to imagine a software development environment without some tracing aids. For medium to complex systems we should have a traceability model and traceability aids should be in place. In these systems we have a quite complex web of relationships. It is common to have several requirements coming from th...

The theory and practice of European traceability regulations for genetically modified food and feed

Traceability of GMO food and feed is a growing request among the European populations and the European Community has responded by providing a complex set of EC Regulations on GMO traceability, detection and labelling, to ensure that the general public is able to make an informed choice about the food they eat. Despite the efficiency and sensitivity of modern GMO detection methods, the regulatio...

Requirements and Traceability

Just Enough Requirements Traceability

Even though traceability is legally required in most safety critical software applications and is a recognized component of many software process improvement initiatives, organizations continue to struggle to implement it in a cost-effective manner. This panel addresses the problems and challenges of requirements traceability and asks questions such as “How much traceability is enough?” and “Wh...

Interaction Centric Requirements Traceability

Requirement Traceability provides the ability to follow the life-cycle of a requirement from its evolution till subsequent refinement and use. A key issue that restricts the adaptation of approaches to create and maintain these relationships is the lack of tool support that employs a centralized repository for heterogeneous artifacts. Different artifacts are stored in different repositories and...
