Abstract

During the R&D project, a huge amount of documents are produced and shared with each other, and also the documents are related to software systems. Without careful management of the relationships, researchers cannot recognize an impact of the changes, which degrades the research quality. This paper presents new types of traceability for the software R&D project including traceability between documents, traceability between a document and its items, traceability between different versions of documents. We examply the traceability of documents in a R&D project. Based on the traceability, the stakeholders of the R&D project are able to recognize and monitor relationships between documents and research outcomes also, it can also eventually contribute to improving the quality of research outcomes and research progress.
