Toward traceability model between ISO/IEC 29110 artefacts and agile process

This paper presents the efficacy of the traceability model in the development of artefacts related to pre-defined activities in the ISO/IEC 29110 process and ones related to agile process. This efficacy is demonstrated through a study of very small entities (VSEs) in Thailand who applied a development script based on the traceability model for various software projects. Six VSEs, with their respective software development projects, participated in the study with comparable time constraints and budgets. The VSE development teams utilized the traceability model to establish connections between the artifacts of the agile process and the ISO/IEC 29110 standard. The results show the potential benefits for VSEs in the application of the traceability model in such processes and what the teams learned from their participation. Each team’s productivity differed only slightly. The average figure of productivity with the traceability model was 1.416. However, the average figure of productivity without the traceability model was 1.3045. It is found the agile process can be facilitated and less effort by applying the traceability model.
