Abstract
A method for determining a comprehensiveness of software requirements tests for testing a software application includes receiving data that defines artifacts of a software project. A first sub-link between at least one application requirement and at least one code module of the application code is identified. The first sub-link indicates a relationship between the application requirement and the code module. A second sub-link between at least one test case and the code module is identified. The second sub-link indicates a relationship between the test case and the module. A traceability link between the test case and the application requirement is determined based on the first sub-link and the second sub-link. The traceability link indicates that the test case tests the software application for compliance with the application requirement.
