This position paper discusses the need for and the organization ofa traceability benchmark. We establish the basic principles of organization of such a benchmark. We then observe the nature oftraceability tasks in three areas of Software Engineering: independent verification and validation, software maintenance, and reverseengineering. Based on this, we derive the desiderata for a traceability benchmark addressing the needs of all three areas.
