<p><p>Traceability supports numerous activities in the engineering of software systems.  For example, pre-requirements traceability is used to demonstrate that a product meets the stakeholders’ stated requirements, or that it complies with a set of government regulations. Other forms of traceability are used to demonstrate the relationships between requirements and software artefacts such as design models, source code, and test cases. </p><p>Over the last 20 years, in order to overcome the significant challenges in creating, maintaining and using traceability, the research community has been actively addressing traceability issues through the following: </p><ul><li>Exploring topics related to automating the traceability process</li><li>Developing strategies for achieving cost-effective traceability</li><li>Supporting the capture and evolution of traceability links</li><li>Visualizing traceability and advancing its effectiveness for end users</li><li>Developing traceability practices that apply across a wide range of domains</li></ul><p><i> </i></p><p>Divided into five sections, Traceability Strategy, Traceability Creation, Traceability Maintenance, Traceability Use and Traceability Challenges, <i>Software and Systems Traceability </i>provides a comprehensive reference for traceability theory, research and practice and presents an introduction to the concepts and theoretical foundations of traceability.</p><p>

<p>Provides a comprehensive description of the practices and theories of software traceability across all phases of the software development cycle</p><p>A reference point for traceability research and practice</p><p>Addresses the topic of traceability in a detailed manner</p>
