Title: A Domain Specific Language for Traceability in Requirement Management System

Abstract:
Requirements are a key aspect of software development. Requirements are also related with other software artefacts including designs, test cases and documentation. These artefacts are often captured with specialized models. In order to facilitate the integration of software models with textual requirements in Requirements Management Systems (RMS), the Model Traceability Domain-Specific Language (MT-DSL) was developed, which is supported by an Eclipse-based editor. The MT-DSL can be used to describe the concepts and relationships of a modeling language that one wants to track through an RMS. The target language for this library is the DOORS eXtension Language (DXL), the scripting language of a leading commercial RMS with traceability support, namely IBM Rational DOORS.
