TOWARDS REFERENCE MODELS FOR REQUIREMENTS TRACEABILITY
S. Rohini, D. Vivekananda Reddy · Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research · 2019
A Reference model in systems, enterprise and software engineering is abstract framework or domain specific ontology consisting of an interlinked set of clearly defined concepts produced by an expert or body of experts in order to encourage clear communication. There are many uses of reference models. Main use of reference model is to create standards for both the objects that inhibit the model and their relationships. By creating the standards, the work of engineers and developers who need to create objects that behave according to the standard is made easier. In this paper we are proposing S-cube model of Quality reference model. Reference models are therefore an abstraction of best practice, condensed from many case studies over an extended period of time, followed by more case studies to refine and evaluate the proposed reference model. There are challenges towards the service-based systems. The network of excellence on software services and systems (S-cube) performs cross –discipline research to develop solutions for those challenges. In this paper we outlined the S-cube reference model life cycle and how is used to know how a service is developed. S-cube knowledge model which is a continuously updated on-line encyclopedia and a reference library. In this paper we are presenting about S-cube framework which is used to align and bring together the involved disciplines and co-existing of services.
