A Value Estimation Method for Feature-Oriented Requirements Tracing
Sangim Ahn, Kiwon Chong · 2008
Traceability links are useful for requirements change impact analysis, requirements conflict analysis, and requirements consistency checking. However, establishing and maintaining traceability links places a big burden since complex systems have especially yield an enormous number of various artifacts. We propose a value estimation method for feature-oriented requirements tracing. It uses a feature as intermediate catalysis to generate traceability links between user requirements and implementation artifacts, by priority level after analyzing each feature's value. In addition, we present value evaluation parameters including requirements importance, requirements risk, cost & efforts, and templates for value analysis.
