A Traceability Technique for Specifications
Aharon Abadi, Mordechai Nisenson, Yahalomit Simionovici · 2008
Traceability in software involves discovering links between different artifacts, and is useful for a myriad of tasks in the software life cycle. We compare several different Information Retrieval techniques for this task, across two datasets involving real-world software with the accompanying specifications and documentation. The techniques compared include dimensionality reduction methods, probabilistic and information theoretic approaches, and the standard vector space model.
