Robust Requirements Tracing via Internet Search Technology
Point of Contact Jane Huffman Hayes
hayes@cs.uky.edu
Dates October 2001 - February 2004
Problem IV&V tracing of requirements to design, code, and/or test cases is difficult (often no mapping provided). It must be done quickly and accurately, and often must shortly be redone on updated documents/artifacts. IV&V tools are needed to automate linking between levels of documents/artifacts vs. developer's tool that only record links during decomposition.
Objective Develop improved methods for finding candidate links between document/artifact levels, and "delta" requirements tracing. Applicable improvements in classification, indexing, searching from Internet search engine technology and reuse repository technology will be employed.
