Model-Driven Engineering as a new landscape for traceability management: A systematic literature review

ContextModel-Driven Engineering provides a new landscape for dealing with traceability in software development.ObjectiveOur goal is to analyze the current state of the art in traceability management in the context of Model-Driven Engineering.MethodWe use the systematic literature review based on the guidelines proposed by Kitchenham. We propose five research questions and six quality assessments.ResultsOf the 157 relevant studies identified, 29 have been considered primary studies. These studies have resulted in 17 proposals.ConclusionThe evaluation shows that the most addressed operations are storage, CRUD and visualization, while the most immature operations are exchange and analysis traceability information.
