Formalizing traceability relations for product lines

Published:23 May 2011Publication History

ABSTRACT

Traceability is considered an important activity during the development of software systems. Despite the various classifications that have been proposed for different types of traceability relations, there is still a lack of standard semantic definitions for traceability relations. In this paper, we present an ontology-based formalism for semantic representation of various types of traceability relations for product line systems and associations between these various types of traceability relations.
