Tackling Traceability Challenges Through Modeling Principles in Methodologies Underpinned by Metamodels

Tackling Traceability Challenges through Modeling Principles in Methodologies Underpinned by Metamodels Angelina Espinoza and Juan Garbajosa Universidad Politecnica de Madrid - Technical University of Madrid, System and Software Technology Group (SYST), E.U. Informatica. Ctra. de Valencia Km. 7, E-28031, Spain, http://syst.eui.upm.es; aespinoza -at- syst.eui.upm.es, jgs -at- eui.upm.es Abstract. Traceability is recognized to be essential for supporting soft- ware development. However, a number of traceability issues are still open, such as link semantics formalization or traceability process models. Traceability methodologies underpinned by metamodels are a promis- ing approach. However current metamodels still have serious limitations. Concerning methodologies in general, three hierarchical layered levels have been identified: metamodel, methodology and project. Metamod- els do not often properly support this architecture, and that results in semantic problems at the time of specifying the methodology. Another reason is that they provide extensive predefined sets of types for describ- ing project attributes, while these project attributes are domain specific and, sometimes, even project specific. This paper introduces two com- plementary modeling principles to overcome these limitations, i.e. the metamodeling three layer hierarchy, and power-type patterns modeling principles. Mechanisms to extend and refine traceability models are in- herent to them. The paper shows that, when methodologies are developed from metamodels based on these two principles, the result is a method- ology well fitted to project features. Links semantics is also improved. Keywords: Traceability methodology, traceability metamodel, clabject, power-type pattern, metamodeling hierarchy, mechanisms for extension of traceability metamodels, metamodel extensibility. 1 Introduction Traceability is considered fundamental to perform processes and tasks such as V&V, change management, and impact analysis.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Just Enough Structured Analysis Chapter 1: Introduction “The beginnings and endings of all human undertakings are untidy, the building of a house, the writing of a novel, the demolition of a bridge, and, eminently, the finish of a voyage.” — John Galsworthy Over the River, 1933 www.yourdon.com ©2006 Ed Yourdon - rev. 051406 In this chapter, you will learn: 1. Why systems analysis is interesting; 2. Why systems analysis is more difficult than programming; and 3. Why it is important to be familiar with systems analysis. Chances are that you groaned when you first picked up this book, seeing how heavy and thick it was. The prospect of reading such a long, technical book is enough to make anyone gloomy; fortunately, just as long journeys take place one day at a time, and ultimately one step at a time, so long books get read one chapter at a time, and ultimately one sentence at a time. 1.1 Why is systems analysis interesting? Long books are often dull; fortunately, the subject matter of this book — systems analysis — is interesting. In fact, systems analysis is more interesting than anything I know, with the possible exception of sex and some rare vintages of Australian wine. Without a doubt, it is more interesting than computer programming (not that programming is dull) because it involves studying the interactions of people, and disparate groups of people, and computers and organizations. As Tom DeMarco said in his delightful book, Structured Analysis and Systems Specification (DeMarco, 1978), [systems] analysis is frustrating, full of complex interpersonal relationships, indefinite, and difficult.

As part of thls endeavor. UHCL proposed a partnership with JSC to Jointly define and manage an integrated program of research in advanced data processing technology needed for JSC's main missions, including administrative, engineering and science responsi- bilities. JSC agreed and entered into a continuing cooperative agreement with UHCL beginning in May 1986, to Jointly plan and execute such research through RICIS. Additionally, under Cooperative Agreement NCC 9-16, computing and educaUonal facilities are shared by the two instituUons to conduct the research. The UHCL/RICIS mission is to conduct, coordinate, and disseminate research and professional level edueaUon in computing and information systems to serve the needs of the government, industry, community and academia. RICIS combines resources ofUHCLand Itsgateway affiliatestoresearch and develop materials, prototypes and publications on topics of mutual interest to its sponsors and researchers.
