Abstract :
Traceability is nowadays an important aspect of software development. Despite that fact, many software development enterprises do not maintain traceability in an appropriate way. Therefore, we conducted five case studies with enterprises differing in size, industry sector, type of developed software and number of locations to determine how traceability is realized in practice and what has to be considered when creating an adoption process for introducing and/or improving traceability.
