Abstract
Generally in software Generally in software development,
there is a need to link the development work products
with each other i.e., requirements with the corresponding
design artefacts, to the resulting software and
associated test cases. This enables, for instance, the
efficient change impact analysis and reporting facilities
during the different phases of the software development
life cycle. Establishing and maintaining these links
manually is a laborious and error prone task, so tool
support is needed.
This paper describes a configurable tool integration
solution (the Merlin ToolChain) that integrates project
management, requirements management, configuration
management and testing tools. The paper introduces the
architecture of the ToolChain as well as describes the
development and validation activities carried out.
Experiences from real life industrial case showed that
the ToolChain works and is useful in collaborative
software development.
