Using requirements traceability links at runtime - a position paper

During software development a large amount of varied information is created. It comprises the requirements specification and depending artifacts such as design, code or test cases, as well as supporting information such as traceability links. This information is intended to be used during development time. The research in requirements at runtime has so far focused on using the requirements specification at runtime. This paper explores how to use the existing traceability links between requirements and other artifacts at runtime.
