Tracing Requirements as a Problem of Machine Learning

Abstract
Software requirement engineering and evolution essential to software development
process, which defines and elaborates what is to be built in a project. Requirements
are mostly written in text and will later evolve to fine-grained and actionable artifacts
with details about system configurations, technology stacks, etc. Tracing the evolution
of requirements enables stakeholders to determine the origin of each requirement
and understand how well the software’s design reflects to its requirements.
Reckoning requirements traceability is not a trivial task, a machine learning
approach is used to classify traceability between various associated requirements. In
particular, a 2-learner, ontology-based, pseudo-instancesenhanced approach, where
two classifiers are trained to separately exploit two types of features, lexical features
and features derived from a hand-built ontology, is investigated for such task. The
hand-built ontology is also leveraged to generate pseudo training instances to
improve machine learning results

CONCLUSION
A 2-learner, ontology-based, pseudo-instances-enhanced approach to supervised traceability
pre- diction has been investigated. Results showed that (1) our approach is effective: in
comparison to the best baseline, relative error reduces by 56.0%; (2) the pseudo instances
extension is effective, which is able to mitigate the situation when human labelled links are
insufficient; and (3) also interestingly, results obtained via induced clusters were as
competitive as those obtained via man- ual clusters, which indicates potential to automate
building of ontology rationales for traceability prediction and reduce human effort. .
