As the engineering world moves towards collaborative model-driven development, it is
becoming increasingly difficult to keep all model artifacts synchronized and consistent …

Traceability provides support for diverse software engineering activities including safety
analysis, compliance verification, test-case selection, and impact prediction. However, in …

Collaborative model-driven development is a de facto practice to create software-intensive
systems in several domains (eg, aerospace, automotive, and robotics). However, when …

Traditionally, safety-critical projects have been developed using the waterfall process.
However, this makes it costly and challenging to incrementally introduce new features and to …

Context: Prior research revealed that code components with similar structures tend to
require structurally similar test cases and they often co-evolve over time. Objective …

Software requirements traceability is a critical component of the software engineering
process, enabling activities such as requirements validation, compliance verification, and …

Although information retrieval advances significantly improved automated traceability tools,
their accuracy is still far from 100% and therefore they still need human intervention …

Software traceability establishes a network of connections between diverse artifacts such as
requirements, design, and code. However, given the cost and effort of creating and …

Software systems are designed according to guidelines and constraints defined by business
rules. Some of these constraints define the allowable or required values for data handled by …

Software systems are characterized by continual change which often occurs concurrently
across various artifact types. While prior work has focused on the evolution of individual …
