  1. Traceability From Need To SolutionWhat,Why and How Tammy Lavi Alon Bar-Ner

  2. Agenda • Traceability: why it is needed • Requirement type, attribute, History • Management tools: Coverage, Status, Impact, Suspect • Requirement Life Cycle and Tools • Demo: Implementing traceability in the Rational toolset

  3. Why Traceability in Software? Because It's a Good Idea. • Reduce rework by not having the same argument twice • Be more efficient by knowing what to do when a change happens • Do better planning because you can understand the impact of a change • Be sure that decisions made later in the project are consistent with those made earlier • Ensure that the systems you delver meet the original needs of the stakeholders

  4. Why Traceability in Software? Somebody Forces You. • FDA (U.S Food and Drug Administration) • "Testing requirements should be traceable to the system/software requirements and design" • " A traceability analysis should be conducted to verify that the software design implements all of the software requirements " • IEEE • "[An] audit is held prior to software delivery to verify that all requirements specified in the Software Requirement Specification have been met."2 • ISO 9001 • "The supplier shall establish and maintain documented procedures to control and verify the design of the product in order to ensure that the specified requirements are met." • CMM/CMMI (Capability Maturity Model) • REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT SP 1.4-2 - Maintain Bi-directional Traceability of Requirements

  8. Requirements are capabilities and objectives to which the software or system you are building must conform. What is a Requirement? • Requirements are found in: • Vision documents • Marketing requirements • Designs • Functional specifications • Product requirements • QA plans • Business rules • Test cases • Use cases • Prototypes • And more...

  9. Requirement Specifications in MS Word - Vision Document

  10. Clearly Present Requirements: Word and Views Microsoft Word Database • Requirement packages • Priority lists • Reports • Familiar interface (Word) • Requirement context • Facilitated review Freedom of Word, Power of a database: Easy to use

  11. Analyzing Requirements

  12. Manage Requirements: Queries and Reports

  13. Requirement Specifications in MS Word - Use Case Document

  14. Manage Requirements: Traceability

  15. Traceability TreeChange Impact

  16. Communicate Requirement Changes: Suspect Links

  17. Impact of Requirement Change • Suspect links pinpoint impact of requirement change to other requirements, design (Rational Rose XDE) and test cases Understand and Communicate the Impact of Requirement Changes
