Abstract

We posit that swarm intelligence can be applied to effectively address requirements engineering problems. Specifically, this paper demonstrates the applicability of swarm intelligence to the requirements tracing problem using a simple ant colony algorithm. The technique has been validated using two real-world datasets from two problem domains. The technique can generate requirements traceability matrices (RTMs) between textual requirements artifacts (high level requirements traced to low level requirements, for example) with equivalent or better accuracy than traditional information retrieval techniques.

Abstract
Requirements traceability (RT) is the ability to link requirements to other software development artifacts. In pre-requirements (pre-RS) traceability, requirements are linked to their origin, such as interviews with stakeholders, meeting protocols,...
