Abstract:
This work presents an MVC-based requirement traceability model to aid in the conception of requirements-aware design in web engineering. Our model follows a methodic approach that decomposes requirements and links them to their appropriate conceptual MVC counterparts, then associates them with the actual MVC-based design parts of a web application. Information obtained from the decomposition and association process is then supplied to a hypermediabased visualization prototype that facilitates the direct manipulation of the captured cross referenced elements in both requirements and design documents. The framework comprising of the tractability model and visualization platform is then proposed for integration with Volere.
