Poirot is a web-based tool supporting traceability of distributed heterogeneous software artifacts. A probabilistic network model is used to generate traces between requirements, design elements, code and other artifacts stored in distributed 3rd party case tools such as DOORS, rational rose, and source code repositories. The tool is designed with extensibility in mind, so that additional artifact types and 3rd party case tools can be easily added. Trace results are displayed in both a textual and visual format. This paper briefly describes the underlying probabilistic model, and the user interface of the tool, and then discusses Poirot's deployment and use in an industrial setting. |
