Formalizing traceability relations for product lines
Luís C. Lamb, Waraporn Jirapanthong, Andrea Zisman · 2011
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.
