2. Traceability and Safety: Done Right!
Bidirectional traceability recognized and maintained
IEC second edition (2010)
Testing activities and practices
Regression testing, test automation, coverage testing etc.
Change impact analysis on source code level
Attracted much research
Extensive literature studies: Lehnert (Tech. rep. 2011), Li et al. (STVR 2013), and Gethers et al. (ICSE’13)
Tool support is used in industry
52.8% work with semi- to highly-automated tools
de la Vara et al. (Tech. rep. 2014) 97 respondents

3. Traceability and Safety: Challenges...
Change impact analysis beyond the source code level
Considerably less research available
Engineers prefer(?) to navigate the code repository
Fully manual work
Empirical Research on Safety-critical Systems in Industry
Can neither use student projects (Borg et al., CSMR’13) nor OSS (Sulaman et al., SEAA’14) as surrogate systems
Knowledge Sharing Between Industry Sectors
Not happening in Sweden!
Missed opportunity rather than pressing challenge
