“…Understanding the coevolution which represents the dependency between artefacts frequently change together is important from the points of views of both practitioners and researchers. Coevolution is also considered a change propagation between diagrams at the same level of abstraction [17].…”

“…There are many survives and studies conducted in the area of consistency management and change impact analysis techniques in UML diagrams. Some of these studies are provided in [1], [8], [17], [24]- [27]. Some approaches related to the code based and model based change impact and traceability analyses are summarized in Table 1 and Table 2.…”

“…The logic meta-programming is proposed as a way to affect a bidirectional link between software design and implementation. Automated coevolution of models using traceability analysis based on model transformation to code is proposed in Amar et al [17]. A coevolution approach between a component-based architecture model and OO source code is proposed in Langhammer [5].…”

UML modelling language is widely adopted in software analysis and design. UML diagrams are divided into different perspectives on modelling a problem domain. Preserving the coevolution among these diagrams is very crucial so that they can be updated continuously to reflect software changes. Decades of research efforts have produced a wide spectrum of approaches in checking the coevolution among UML diagrams. These approaches can be classified into direct, transformational, formal semantics, or knowledge representation approaches. Formal methods such as Coloured Petri Nets (CPN) are widely used in detecting and handling the coevolution between artifacts. Although ample progress has been made, there still remains much work to be done in further improving the effectiveness and the accuracy of the state-of-the-art coevolution techniques in managing changes in UML diagrams. In this research, a survey about the approaches in maintaining the coevolution among UML diagrams is provided. This research proposed set of coevolution and change effect relations on UML diagrams and diagrams elements. Additionally, currently challenges and issues to detect and resolve the UML diagrams coevolution and inconsistencies are discussed.

Traceability is the capability to represent, understand and analyze the relationships between software artefacts. Traceability is at the core of many software engineering activities. This is a blessing in disguise as traceability research is scattered among various research subfields, which impairs a global view and integration of the different innovations around the recording, identification, evaluation and management of traces. This also limits the adoption of traceability solutions in industry.In this sense, the goal of this paper is to present a characterization of the traceability mechanism as a feature model depicting the shared and variable elements in any traceability proposal. The features in the model are derived from a survey of papers related to traceability published in the literature. We believe this feature model is useful to assess and compare different proposals and provide a common terminology and background. Beyond the feature model, the survey we conducted also help us to identify a number of challenges to be solved in order to move traceability forward, especially in a context where, due to the increasing importance of AI techniques in Software Engineering, traces are more important than ever in order to be able to reproduce and explain AI decisions.
