Abstract

TraceLab is designed to empower future traceability research, through facilitating innovation and creativity, increasing collaboration between researchers, decreasing the startup costs and effort of new traceability research projects, and fostering technology transfer. To this end, it provides an experimental environment in which researchers can design and execute experiments in TraceLab's visual modeling environment using a library of reusable and user-defined components. TraceLab fosters research competitions by allowing researchers or industrial sponsors to launch research contests intended to focus attention on compelling traceability challenges. Contests are centered around specific traceability tasks, performed on publicly available datasets, and are evaluated using standard metrics incorporated into reusable TraceLab components. TraceLab has been released in beta-test mode to researchers at seven universities, and will be publicly released via CoEST.org in the summer of 2012. Furthermore, by late 2012 TraceLab's source code will be released as open source software, licensed under GPL. TraceLab currently runs on Windows but is designed with cross platforming issues in mind to allow easy ports to Unix and Mac environments.
TraceLab:为研究人员提供创新、综合和比较评估可追溯性解决方案的实验平台
TraceLab旨在通过促进创新和创造力,增加研究人员之间的合作,降低新的可追溯性研究项目的启动成本和努力,以及促进技术转移,从而增强未来的可追溯性研究。为此,它提供了一个实验环境,研究人员可以使用可重用和用户定义的组件库在TraceLab的可视化建模环境中设计和执行实验。TraceLab通过允许研究人员或工业赞助商发起旨在关注引人注目的可追溯性挑战的研究竞赛来促进研究竞赛。竞赛以特定的跟踪任务为中心,在公开可用的数据集上执行,并使用纳入可重用TraceLab组件的标准指标进行评估。TraceLab已经向七所大学的研究人员发布了beta测试模式,并将于2012年夏天通过CoEST.org公开发布。此外,到2012年底,TraceLab的源代码将以开源软件的形式发布,并在GPL许可下发布。TraceLab目前在Windows上运行,但在设计时考虑了跨平台问题,以便轻松移植到Unix和Mac环境。
