Description:
This dataset is based on open source NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) documents. The dataset contains 19 high-level and 49 low-level requirements. The trace for the dataset was manually verified. The "theoretical true trace" (answerset) built for this dataset consisted of 41 correct links. Each of the high- and low-level files contain the text of one requirement element. The files in the high and the low directory are in the same format.

The handtrace.txt file is the answerset. It maps high-level requirements to their low-level children. The handtrace.txt file has this format:

%
SDP3.2-2 L1APR01-I-3
%
SDP3.3-1 L1APR01-I-1
%
SDP3.3-2 L1APR03-I-2 L1APR01-I-2
%
SDP3.3-4 L1APR03-I-2 L1APR01-I-2 L1APR01-I-1
..
..
..
..

where SDP3.2-2 is the identifier of a high-level requirement, and L1APR01-I-3 is the identifier of the only low-level requirement that traces to it. The items are separated by tabs. So, for example, high-level requirement SDP3.3-4 has three children requirements: L1APR03-I-2, L1APR01-I-2, L1APR01-I-1.
 
Artifacts:
High-level requirements
Low-level requirements
 
Size: Small
19 high-level requirements, 49 low-level requirements
41 correct links in answerset
 
Sample Artifact Element:
"[The software] shall unpack all radiance data from 12-bits in the MODIS_pkt to Unpacked_MODIS_radiance when the packet contains radiance data, using the format documented in SBRS CDRL 305." (from L1APR01-F-2.4-1)
 
Benchmarks:
Hayes, Dekhtyar, and Osbourne, RE2003 [5].
Null Hypothesis: Vector Space Information Retrieval (VSIR), VSIR+Thesaurus same as analyst, SuperTracePlus (STP)
Alternative Hypothesis: VSIR, VSIR+Thesaurus better than analyst, STP
Method [Precision, Recall]
VSIR [11.4%, 25.4%]
VSIR+Thesaurus [40.6%, 85.4%]
Analyst+STP [46.15%, 43.9%]
STP [38.8%, 63.41%]
Results: Null hypothesis confirmed for VSIR, rejected for VSIR+Thesaurus
