A Model Management Framework for Maintaining Traceability Links
نویسندگان
چکیده
In MDE diverse modeling and model transformation languages are applied to describe and derive the envisioned system. Traceability is a prerequisite for maintaining consistency between different development artifacts. Thereby, the usefulness of traceability links increases with their completeness and correctness. In practice, automatic creation and maintenance of traceability links is required to be useful. This is addressed by heuristic approaches that derive traceability information statically or by model transformation technologies that provide traceability links as additional execution result. However, the maintenance of traceability links for a set of diverse languages and transformation technologies as combined in MDE is still a challenging task. In this paper, we present a framework that provides and treats all traceability information using the common format of hierarchical megamodels. Thereby, different approaches for gaining traceability information can be combined. Information provided by transformation technologies is translated into this common format.

Towards Automated Traceability Maintenance in Model Driven Engineering
Traceability relations are used to understand the dependencies between the artifacts created during the development of a software system. In model driven Engineering (MDE), traceability relations may be generated implicitly or explicitly. When changes occur to the models, it is necessary that the traceability links must be maintained and must be evolved. The purpose of this paper is to propose ...

Maintaining traceability links among software artifacts is particularly important for many software engineering tasks. Even though automatic traceability link recovery tools are successful in identifying the semantic connections among software artifacts produced during software development, no existing traceability link management approach can effectively and automatically deal with software ev...
متن کاملTracing requirements and source code during software development
Traceability links between requirements and source code are often created after development. This reduces the possibilities for developers to use these traceability links during the development process. Additionally, existing approaches applied after development do not consider artifacts from project management, which are used for planning and organizing a project. These artifacts can serve as ...
متن کاملBuilding Model-Driven Engineering Traceability Classifications
Model-Driven Engineering involves the application of many different model management operations, some automated, some manual. For developers to stay in control of their models and codebase, trace information must be maintained by all model management operations. This leads to a large number of trace links, which themselves need to be managed, queried, and evaluated. Classifications of traceabil...
متن کاملSupporting Workflow Management Systems with Traceability
Workflow Management Systems need to support organizations adapt their workflows to meet changing environments and business processes. We propose a traceability based knowledge management approach to support such a capability in WFMS. We present a framework for representing traceability knowledge to capture the context in which workflows are specified and evolved. We discuss the functionalities ...
