Developing new ideas and algorithms or comparing new findings in the field of requirements engineering and management implies a dataset to work with. Collecting the required data is time consuming, tedious, and may involve unforeseen difficulties. The need for datasets often forces re-searchers to collect data themselves in order to evaluate their findings. However, comparing results with other publications...
Auto-completion of textual inputs benefits software developers using IDEs. However, graphical modeling tools used to design software do not yet provide such functionality. The challenges of recommending auto-completions for graphical modeling activities are largely unexplored. Recommending such auto-completions requires detecting meaningful partly completed activities, tolerating variance in user...
Many guidelines for safety-critical industries, such as aeronautics, medical devices, and railway communications, specify that traceability must be used to demonstrate that a rigorous development process has been followed and to provide evidence that the developed system is safe for use. However, creating accurate and complete traceability is costly and remains a practical challenge. The significant...
Information Retrieval (IR) identifies trace links based on textual similarities among software artifacts. However, the vocabulary mismatch problem between different artifacts hinders the performance of IR-based approaches. A growing body of work addresses this issue by combining IR techniques with code dependency analysis such as method calls. However, so far the performance of combined approaches...
Effective requirements traceability supports practitioners in reaching higher project maturity and better product quality. Researchers argue that effective traceability barely happens by chance or through ad-hoc efforts and that traceability should be explicitly defined upfront. However, in a previous study we found that practitioners rarely follow explicit traceability strategies. We were interested...
Requirements traceability supports practitioners in reaching higher project maturity and better product quality. To gain this support, traces between various artifacts of the software development process are required. Depending on the number of existing artifacts, establishing traces can be a time-consuming and error-prone task. Additionally, the manual creation of traces frequently interrupts the...
