软件维护中的一些重要任务需要一个最新的需求跟踪矩阵（RTM）：变更影响分析，确定测试用例执行回归测试等。RTM的生成和维护是繁琐和容易出错的，因此他们往往不这样做。在本文中，我们提出了需求跟踪目标（RETRO），一个专用的需求跟踪工具。我们讨论了如何RETRO自动生成的RTM，并提出了一项研究的结果比较手动RTM生成RTM生成使用RETRO。研究表明，RETRO发现的正确链接比手动跟踪多得多，而且只花了三分之一的时间。
A number of important tasks in software maintenance require an up-to-date requirements traceability matrix (RTM): change impact analysis, determination of test cases to execute for regression testing, etc. The generation and maintenance of RTMs are tedious and error-prone, and they are hence often not done. In this paper, we present REquirements TRacing On-target (RETRO), a special- purpose requirements tracing tool. We discuss how RETRO automates the generation of RTMs and present the results of a study comparing manual RTM generation to RTM generation using RETRO. The study showed that RETRO found significantly more correct links than manual tracing and took only one third of the time to do so.
