当可追溯性走上歧途:一份工业经验报告

When Traceability Goes Awry: an Industrial Experience Report

Davide Fucci, Emil Alégroth, Thomas Axelsson

摘要:

工件之间的可追溯性的概念被认为是软件项目成功的推动者。这个概念已经得到了研究界的广泛关注,许多人认为它在工业环境中总是可用的。在这个产学合作项目中,一个研究小组在一家大型电信公司的测试从业人员的支持下,试图调查合作伙伴公司与软件质量相关的问题。然而,很快就发现需求和测试用例之间缺少基本的可跟踪性链接。这种缺乏可追溯性的情况阻碍了帮助公司处理质量问题的解决方案的实施。在这份经验报告中,我们讨论了在复杂的工业环境中创建和维护可追溯性链接的实际价值,并为研究人员提供了一个警示故事。

英文摘要:

The concept of traceability between artifacts is considered an enabler for software project success. This concept has received plenty of attention from the research community and is by many perceived to always be available in an industrial setting. In this industry-academia collaborative project, a team of researchers, supported by testing practitioners from a large telecommunication company, sought to investigate the partner company's issues related to software quality. However, it was soon identified that the fundamental traceability links between requirements and test cases were missing. This lack of traceability impeded the implementation of a solution to help the company deal with its quality issues. In this experience report, we discuss lessons learned about the practical value of creating and maintaining traceability links in complex industrial settings and provide a cautionary tale for researchers.
