Abstract

The software artefacts at different levels of abstraction and at different stages of the development process are closely inter-related. For developers to stay in control of the development process, traceability information must be maintained. In this paper, we present the engineering of the Traceability Metamodelling Language (TML), a metamodelling language dedicated to defining traceability metamodels. We present the abstract syntax of the language and its semantics, which are defined using a translational approach. Finally, we provide a case study that demonstrates the construction of a traceability metamodel that captures traceability information between two metamodels using TML.
