Abstract

Traceability link recovery is an active research area in software engineering with a number of open research questions and challenges, due to the substantial costs and challenges associated with software maintenance. We propose Traceclipse, an Eclipse plug-in that integrates some similar characteristics of traceability link recovery techniques in one easy-to-use suite. The tool enables software developers to specify, view, and manipulate traceability links within Eclipse and it provides an API through which recovery techniques may be added, specified, and run within an integrated development environment. The paper also presents initial case studies aimed at evaluating the proposed plug-in.
