Recovering and using use-case-diagram-to-source-code traceability links

Mark Grechanik, Kathryn S. McKinley, Dewayne E. Perry

Abstract

Use case diagrams (UCDs) are widely used to describe requirements and desired functionality of software products. However, UCDs are loosely linked to source code, and maintaining traces between the source code and elements of UCDs is a manual, tedious, and laborious process. These traces help programmers to understand code that they maintain and evolve.
