论文摘要
工件之间的可追溯性概念被认为是软件项目成功的推动者。这个概念受到了研究界的广泛关注，并且在许多人被认为总是在工业环境中可用的。在这个行业 - academia合作项目中，由一组研究人员的团队在一家大型电信公司的从业人员的支持下，试图调查合作伙伴公司与软件质量有关的问题。但是，很快就确定了要求和测试案例之间的基本可追溯性联系。缺乏可追溯性阻碍了实施解决方案，以帮助公司解决其质量问题。在这项经验报告中，我们讨论了有关在复杂的工业环境中创建和维持可追溯性联系的实践价值的经验教训，并为研究人员提供了一个警示性的故事。
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.
