Version Control Mechanism Supporting Requirements Tracing
Xiaohong Huang · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2009
Version control is an important way to improve the maintainability of software. However, present version control mechanisms in common use lack the supporting of requirements tracing. This article presents a new version control mechanism, which can effectively trace the connection among function requirements, function design and codes and ensure that developers can get the necessary tracing information with precision. As a result, it is beneficial to the consistence maintenance of software products. Based on this mechanism, a new version control tool VCFQ which fully supports the tracing of requirements is designed and some critical technologies involved in the completion of this tool are discussed.
