Dates September 2005 - September 2006
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 Continue developing improved methods for finding candidate links between document/artifact levels using appropriate algorithms and techniques from the field of Information Retrieval. Develop a toolkit of tracing algorithms and integrate it with at least one IV&V tool currently in use.
