Arts - an automated requirements traceability system

Abstract Management of the hundreds or thousands of requirements associated with a large aerospace system is a tedious, error-prone process. Automated Requirements Traceability System (ARTS) has been developed to automate this process. ARTS is a bookkeeping program that operates on a data base consisting of system requirements and their attributes. It provides upward and downward traceability in a hierarchical structure, as well as data base management and output operations on any requirement-related attributes selected by the user. ARTS is currently implemented on the UNIVAC 1110, DEC VAX-11/780, and IBM computers.
