Abstract

Software requirement specification is a very important early phase in the software development life cycle. There must bemaintaining consistency between source code and document of a system to produce a quality product. Traceability can be used for showing that source code of a system is consistent with the requirements. Developers do not focus on the traceability links during maintenance and evolution. Later on, recovering these traceability links is difficult.Previous studies focused on recovery of traceability links Information Retrieval (IR) techniques. But IR techniques produce less accurate results in finding traceability links. In the proposed work must be improve the accuracy (precision and recall) through trustrace approach: trust based traceability links(reconstruction of traceability links) and comparing the results of IR techniques and Trustrace.

Keywords

Traceability, Requirements, Source Code, Trust Based Model, Precision, Recall.
