TraceME: A Traceability-Based Method for Conceptual Model Evolution

Viac o knihe

This book presents TraceME, a traceability-based method for conceptual model evolution whose general purpose is to support the evolution of information systems. By providing a set of four TraceME chunks, TraceME is situational-oriented. In this way, it can be adapted to support different evolution projects by just assembling the TraceME chunks. To facilitate its industrial adoption, open source tools were developed and described which support the implementation of the TraceME chunks. The work presented highlights various research endeavors for the development of methods and techniques to automate the evolution of software systems. It explores the requirements engineering field as a steppingstone to a successful software development processes. In 2017, the underlying PhD dissertation won the “CAiSE PhD award”, granted to outstanding PhD theses in the field of Information Systems Engineering.
