Abstract

We present the process and methods applied in undertaking the Traceability Challenge in addressing Grand Challenge C-GC1 - Trace recovery. The Information Retrieval methods implemented in REquirementsTRacing On target .NET (RETRO.NET) were applied to the tracing of the eTour and EasyClinic datasets. Our work focused on the nuances of native language (Italian, English). Datasets were augmented with additional terms derived from splitting function and variable names with Camel-Back notation and using the Google Translate API to translate Italian terms into English. Results based on the provided answer set show that the augmented datasets significantly improved recall and precision for one of the datasets.
