Abstract: Traceability is the ability of stakeholders to describe and follow the life of an artifact throughout the software development life cycle.Traceability is one of the most important quality attributes that are indicative of the maturity of software development organizations.While there has been extensive research focusing on the development of traceability models and support systems for different kinds of software development environments, there is a paucity of research that characterizes the tasks that need to be performed in implementing and using traceability.This research addresses a gap in this area by providing theoretical justifications for, and identifying key factors that dictate the choice of media based on the task characteristics.These prescriptions will help traceability tool developers in delivering traceability support that is tailored to specific tasks involved in different types of projects.
