In April, we improved our Matlab adapter of YAKINDU Traceability (YT). The adapter recognizes Matlab Simulink Blocks as well as Matlab Stateflow States and Transitions. Based on this artifact recognition, YT provides traceability for these artifacts, e.g. between ...
In the last month, our team behind YAKINDU Traceability received a couple of questions regarding how to establish bidirectional traceability between requirements or design elements and software units a.k.a source code – as for example required in the Automotive ...
We are happy to announce that the World Intellectual Property Organization has officially published our patent application „Tracing Dependencies between Development Artifacts in a Development Project”.
No doubt: Scrum comes with a lot of great ideas – and even better: They are applicable on a product development process. But on the other hand, there are some strange terms and metaphors which may lead to misunderstandings in the Scrum process – at least they were ...
Even though traceability management is required in several industries, most companies have an individual solution to link their development artifacts across their tools. These solutions are often not very comfortable and have several limitations. In this post I ...
Traceability management is required in several industries, e.g. the automotive industry, especially to comply with legal requirements such as ISO 26262. It deals with the documentation of the life of a requirement by creating bi-directional links between various ...
While working in development projects it is necessary to observe the status of our project – whether to keep track ourselves or to inform our customers. Therefore, often reports have to be created what can be very time consuming and – referring to the number of ...
Change requests are common in development projects. When we get the list of customer requirements at the beginning of a project, we all know that some of these requirements will change later – and often we have already implemented and tested the requirement that ...
Xtext has become a framework not only for domain specific languages spoken, authored and read by programmers, but also by real (business-) domain experts themselves. Sometimes these people have reservations such as “a (textual) editor can never provide as much ...
In this post I show how to (ab)use PlantUML to visualize Xtext models. Warning: This is about diagrams, not about UML.
