Overview

The following dataset contains the software artifacts used to evaluate the accuracy of traceability algorithms. It contains requirements, test cases, and source code with links established between requirements to code and requirements to test cases.

Source Files

Format

The following files contains three datasets:

artifacts: Contains all software artifacts including their ID and content.
traces: Contains list of positive trace links established in the project.
matrices: Details the artifacts types containing traces (e.g. requirements -> test cases)
train: Contains a dataset ready for training with each row containing source and target artifact content alongside the label between the artifacts.
