Van Deursen, A. Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science Department Software Technology Date 2007-12-31 Abstract Managing traceability data is an important aspect of the software development process. In this paper we define a methodology, consisting of six steps, for reconstructing requirements views using traceability data. One of the steps concerns the reconstruction of the traceability data. We investigate to what extent Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI), an information retrieval technique, can help recovering the information needed for automatically reconstructing traceability of requirements during the development process. We experiment with different link selection strategies and apply LSI in multiple case studies varying in size and context. We discuss the results of a small lab study, a larger case study and a large industrial case study.
