Traceability, the ability to track parts and products, is a necessity for many enterprise applications. These include pilferage reduction, counterfeit prevention, and targeted recalls. In this paper, we share lessons learned from a comparative analysis of two state of the art traceability data management systems: a federated system for parts traceability; and a distributed system for distributi...

The Food & Drug Administration has begun requiring that electronic submissions of regulated clinical studies utilize the Clinical Data Information Standards Consortium data standards. Within regulated clinical research, traceability is a requirement and indicates that the analysis results can be traced back to the original source data. Current solutions for clinical research data traceability a...

Traceability of software artifacts, from requirements to design and through implementation and quality assurance, has long been promoted by the research and expert practitioner communities. However, evidence indicates that, with the exception of those operating in the safety critical domain, few software companies choose to implement traceability processes, in the most part due to cost and comp...

[Context & motivation] Traceability of software engineering artifacts is important in software development. Tools are used to establish traceability between software engineering artifacts. [Problem] One of the open traceability challenges is the traceability-configuration during usage. At any time within a project, the traceability information model (TIM) should be adaptable to changing context...

The study on food safety traceability system in China started from 2002. During the study and implementation, some related standards and guides have been gradually made, many traceable foods and traceable enterprises were created and a series of traceability subsystems were developed. This paper introduces the importance of food safety traceability system construction, the present construction ...

Traceability is an important concern in projects that span different engineering domains. In such projects, traceability can be used across the engineering lifecycle and therefore is multi-domain, involving heterogeneous models. We introduce the concept and challenges of multidomain traceability and explain how it can be used to support traceability scenarios. We describe how to build a multi-d...

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...

In this paper we propose an approach that can be used to generate traceability relations between organisational models specified in i* and software systems models represented in UML (in particular use case and class diagrams). Our approach proposes different types of traceability relationships between i* and UML models and uses traceability rules to generate the different types of traceability ...

traceability is an ability of system to provide status reports or records pertaining of the current situation in the past. in production systems, traceability to track the product or lot of a product and access to records in the entire production process (or part of the process) of the raw material to finished product that purchased and consumed by customer will be applied. traceability in prod...

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...
