Grants and Contracts Details
Description
Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) tracing of
requirements to design, code, and/or test cases is difficult (often
no mapping is provided). It must be done quickly and
accurately, and often must shortly be redone on updated
documents/artifacts. IV&V tools are needed to automate linking
between levels of documents/artifacts vs. developer's tool that
only record links during decomposition. Previous work by the PI
and co-PI [RE03, RE04, MSR04, MSR05, USEKE, PROMISE]
and others [Antoniol, Maletic, Huang] have demonstrated that
information retrieval and data mining techniques can assist with
the generation of dynamic links for establishing traceability
between textual artifacts including source code, requirements and
design specifications, and user's manuals. It is often the case,
however, that an Independent Verification and validation
(IV&V) agent is delivered an RTM (or partial RTM) from the
developer, with the task of evaluating the quality and
completeness of the RTM (as opposed to building one from
scratch). There has been no prior work, to our knowledge, on the
assessment of existing RTMs to determine: a) completeness, b)
accuracy, and c) satisfaction. We propose to undertake such
research.
