This paper introduces the idea of building a body of knowledge (BoK) to gather the better practices in software requirements traceability that could bring major benefits for analyzing, managing, and implementing software changes impact. The implementation of traceability in the organizations is still a challenge even many studies have been conducted on the subject. The aim of this work is to evaluate traceability approaches focusing on software product traceability by a systematic review. We conducted a series of interviews with practitioners to complement the evaluation. Based on this study, we categorize the approaches, and we propose a body of knowledge (Bok) on traceability requirements TraceBoK. This BoK intends to assist software engineers to decide how to define an implementation of traceability in the development and maintenance of software products. Experts in traceability have evaluated this BoK, and we notice that it meets practitioners needs. However, some improvements must be done in the future versions, and we have made TraceBoK available at tracebok.org. We hope that the proposed BoK helps practitioners to apply better and understand traceability in both academic and industry areas. |
