Imagine a puzzle with missing pieces - that's software without recovered traceability links.
These links the glue between requirements and code map the what (what the software needs to
do) to the how (the code that makes it happen). Missing links leave a confusing picture
hindering software development.Recovery of traceability links strengthens software in several
ways:-Reduced Risk: Changes are inevitable but without links pinpointing impacted code
sections becomes a guessing game. Recovered links minimize risk by highlighting changes needed
preventing unintended consequences.-Faster Debugging: Bugs often hide deep within the code.
Traceability links act as a detective's map leading developers from the bug back to its source
in the requirements allowing for quicker fixes.-Future-Proofing: Software evolves. Recovered
links provide a historical record helping developers understand the why behind existing code
and make informed modifications as the system grows.Traceability links are the missing piece
that completes the software puzzle. By recovering them developers gain a comprehensive
understanding leading to a more robust maintainable and adaptable system.
