Traceability: Taming uncontrolled change in software development
Krzysztof Kowalczykiewicz, Dawid Weiss · 2002
Current trends in software engineering focus on processes and methodology of human-controlled change management. In this paper we show that there is a strong need for automated, integrated software development environments, where change propagation would be facilitated not only by humans (even if process-driven), but also by software modules specifically dedicated to this task and spanning over all project artifacts. We prove that such integrated approach has a great impact on software development and we introduce a project, which attempts to fulfill the assumptions presented in this paper.
