TraCter: A tool for candidate traceability link clustering
Anas Mahmoud, Nan Niu · 2011
Automated tracing tools employ information retrieval (IR) methods to recover traceability links between software artifacts. A large body of research is available on the back-end design of such tools, including artifacts indexing and the underlying IR mechanism. In contrast, less attention has been paid to the front-end presentation of the retrieved results. This paper describes TraCter, a result categorization tool with novel search user interfaces. We discuss the key features of TraCter and its potential improvements over previous work.
