Software Artefact Traceability Analyser: A Case-Study on POS System
Software traceability is a key notion in the software development. The paper explores the previously developed research-based Software Artefact Traceability Analyser tool called 'SAT-Analyser'. The workflow and capabilities of SAT-Analyser tool are described and evaluated using a case study of a Point of Sale system. Phases such as software artefact identification, data pre-processing, data extraction and traceability establishment methodologies used in the tool SAT-Analyser are presented with graph-based traceability outcome. The case-study based evaluation shows positive accuracy results for the SAT-Analyser tool. Moreover, the proposed traceability management framework for the entire software development life cycle is presented.
