and have proposed a set of QVT transformations to automatically generate the
corresponding trace models. The great benefit of our proposal is the improvement
in requirements validation and the identification of the corresponding elements in
the PIM models, being able to easily assess the impact of changes and regenerate
the affected parts. This was shown by means of the presented example.
Our plans for the immediate future are developing a new set of QVT trans-
formations to explore the relationships between the PIM and PSM and explore
the potential of using the information recorded in the traces in order to support
automated analysis. We will also develop a traceability framework in order to
make the maintenance of traces as automatic as possible.
