Technical Report (ISO document stage)

(IEEE) A record of the execution of a computer program, showing the sequence of instructions executed, the names and values of variables, or both. Types include execution trace, retrospective trace, subroutine trace, symbolic trace, variable trace.

To produce a record as in definition (1).

To establish a relationship between two or more products of the development process; e.g., to establish the relationship between a given requirement and the design element that implements that requirement.

Analyzing constituents present in ppm and ppb concentrations. Trace analysis requires extremely pure reagents made with ultrapure Type I reagent grade water.

The ability to link a user requirement specification through functional specifications and design specifications to test cases. It should be possible to look at a specification and determine how it was tested, or to look at a test and determine what specifications it challenges.

A prerequisite for trustworthy records, apart from data security. Traceability is the part of the laboratory data system audit trail that holds the evidence of who did what to a record and when.

The degree to which each element in a software development product establishes its reason for existing; e.g., the degree to which each element in a bubble chart references the requirement that it satisfies.

(ISO) Ability to trace the history, application or location of that which is under consideration.

(IEEE) The degree to which a relationship can be established between two or more products of the development process, especially products having a predecessor-successor or master-subordinate relationship to one another; e.g., the degree to which the requirements and design of a given software component match.

The tracing of software design descriptions to software requirements specifications and software requirements specifications to software design descriptions.

(IEEE) The tracing of Software Requirements Specifications requirements to system requirements in concept documentation.

The tracing of source code to corresponding design specifications and design specifications to source code. Analyze identified relationships for correctness, consistency, completeness, and accuracy.

(IEEE) A matrix that records the relationship between two or more products; e.g., a matrix that records the relationship between the requirements and the design of a given software component.

A radioactively labeled nucleic acid component included in a reassociation reaction in amounts too small to influence the progress of reaction.
