Abstract
Requirement traceability provides powerful support for software engineering activities.However,establishing traces by manual is a high cost job,and hard to maintain.Dynamic requirement traceability indentifies traceability automatically by using tech-nologies such as information retrieval,but still has problems with its precision.Based on the analysis of precision problem,a method using code comments to help with establishing traceability links is proposed,an exiting requirement dynamic trace tool is improved.The result of test shows that the performance of dynamic requirement traceability is enhanced.
