C# Traceability System

Traceability information is a valuable asset that software development teams can leverage to minimise their risk during production and maintenance of software projects. When maintainers are added to a software project post-production, they have to learn the system from scratch and understand its dynamics before they can begin making appropriate modifications to the source code. The system outlined in this paper extracts traceability information directly from the source code of C# projects, and presents it in such a way that it can be easily used to understand the logic and validate changes to the system

Elucidative Programming in Open Integrated Development Environments for Java

In this paper we present an integration of tool support for internal documentation in the modern IDE TogetherJ. The specific kind of internal documentation stems from the Elucidative Programming tradition where documentation and source code are separate entities tied together using hyperlinks. The tool supports the programmer in creating and managing internal documentation of Java source code. The hypertext-based documentation is presented in the IDE where a range of navigational features helps the programmer with finding relevant documentation for a given part of the source code. It is concluded that integration of such a tool is indeed possible as well as easy to do in an open IDE like TogetherJ. We expect that we can obtain similar results using other open IDEs
