Visualizing traceability information with iTrace

The key role of models in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) provides a new landscape for dealing with traceability. However, despite the certain maturity reached by some MDE tools, providing efficient views of traceability data is still in its early stages. To contribute in this direction, this work introduces the visualization mechanisms provided by iTrace, a framework for the management of traceability in MDE projects. In particular, a multipanel editor for trace models supports the low-level edition of traceability data whereas different dashboards provide high-level views of such data. Both proposals are illustrated by means of a running example.
