Abstract
Information system development is a highly iterative process in which developers seek to capture the needs and desires of all stakeholders. The goal is to transform the requirements into a complete system consisting of both manual and computerized parts. The product of such a development project undergoes changes because of its iterative nature. Extensive attention is given to traceability as a means to relate different different system descriptions and to allow changes in one of the system descriptions — requirements specification, design, code, documentation, or test scenarios — to be predicted and traced to the corresponding fragments of the other descriptions.1 Such correspondence relationships should be maintained throughout the lifetime of a system in order to manage the artifact.
