Abstract
This chapter presents a research about the Software Requirements Traceability. The main elements of traceability, definitions, problems and prospects are presented. The chapter is organized by topics and its beginning is a review about requirements engineering, its categories (Elicitation, Analysis and Negotiation, Documentation, Validation, and Management) and its role in software development. Afterwards, the requirements management and its elements (Identification, Change Management and Traceability) are described. Traceability is discussed; its aspects and problems are exploited as well as its classifications, techniques, links, metrics and models. Finally the Conclusion presents the main points that can be explored in future researches.
