To gain this support, traces between various artifacts of the software development process are required. Depending on the number of existing artifacts, establishing traces can be a time-consuming and error-prone task. Additionally, the manual creation of traces frequently interrupts the software development process. In order to overcome those problems, practitioners are asking for techniques that support the creation of traces (see Grand Challenge: Ubiquitous (GC-U)). In this paper, we propose the usage of a graph clustering algorithm to support the retrieval of refinement traces. Refinement traces are traces that exist between artifacts created in different phases of a development project, e.g., between features and use cases. We assessed the effectiveness of our approach in several TraceLab experiments. These experiments employ three standard datasets containing differing types of refinement traces. Results show that graph clustering can improve the retrieval of refinement traces and is a step towards the overall goal of ubiquitous traceability.","PeriodicalId":330587,"journal":{"name":"2013 7th International Workshop on Traceability in Emerging Forms of Software Engineering (TEFSE)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128274047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In large-scale projects, constituting information spaces of thousands of artifacts, conducting IA is tedious work relying on extensive system understanding. We propose to support this activity by enabling engineers to reuse knowledge from previously completed IAs. We do this by mining the trace links in documented IA reports, creating a semantic network of the resulting traceability, and rendering the resulting network amenable to visual analyses. We studied an Issue Management System (IMS), from within a company in the power and automation domain, containing 4,845 IA reports from 9 years of development relating to a single safety critical system. The domain has strict process requirements guiding the documented IAs. We used link mining to extract trace links, from these IA reports to development artifacts, and to determine their link semantics. We constructed a semantic network of the interrelated development artifacts, containing 6,104 non-code artifacts and 9,395 trace links, and we used two visualizations to examine the results. We provide initial suggestions as to how the knowledge embedded in such a network can be (re-)used to advance support for IA.","PeriodicalId":330587,"journal":{"name":"2013 7th International Workshop on Traceability in Emerging Forms of Software Engineering (TEFSE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128426961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a large project, a TM might represent the relationships between thousands of elements of dozens of artifacts (for example, between design elements and code elements, between requirements and test cases). In mission- and safety-critical systems, a third party agent may be given the job to assess a TM prepared by the developer. Due to the size and complexity of the task, automated techniques are needed. We have developed a technique for analyzing a TM, called Trace Matrix Analyzer (TMA), so that third party agents can perform their work faster and more effectively. To validate, we applied TMA to two TMs with known problems and golden answersets: MoonLander and MODIS. We also asked an experienced software engineer to manually review the TM. We found that TMA properly identified TM issues and was much faster than manual review, but also falsely identified issues for one dataset.

In this paper, we therefore introduce the concept of an augmented “Interaction Room”, i.e. a physical room whose walls are outfitted with wall-sized touchscreens that visualize different aspects of a software system. The information displayed on the walls is related, so when a user changes the content on one wall, e.g. by editing or navigating a diagram, the contents on the other walls should change correspondingly. This raises the need for traceability techniques to recover trace links between the walls and to maintain them in real-time. In contrast to how one works with existing modeling tools, the pragmatic methodology of the Interaction Room encourages users to work with sketches that may often remain incomplete and inconsistent. This makes the identification and maintenance of trace links particularly difficult. We therefore describe how a combination of prospective and retrospective traceability techniques can be used to recover and maintain the trace links in such an interactive room.","PeriodicalId":330587,"journal":{"name":"2013 7th International Workshop on Traceability in Emerging Forms of Software Engineering (TEFSE)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129119836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is an extension of Vector Space Model (VSM) and it is able to overcome VSM in canonical IR scenarios where it is used on very large document repositories. LSI has also been used to semi-automatically generate traceability links between software artefacts. However, in such a scenario LSI is not able to overcome VSM. This contradicting result is probably due to the different characteristics of software artefact repositories as compared to document repositories. In this paper we present a preliminary empirical study to analyze how the size and the vocabulary of the repository-in terms of number of documents and terms (i.e., the vocabulary)-affects the retrieval accuracy. Even if replications are needed to generalize our findings, the study presented in this paper provides some insights that might be used as guidelines for selecting the more adequate methods to be used for traceability recovery depending on the particular application context.","PeriodicalId":330587,"journal":{"name":"2013 7th International Workshop on Traceability in Emerging Forms of Software Engineering (TEFSE)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130597096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
