1. A method for determining a comprehensiveness of software requirements tests for testing a software application, the method comprising: receiving data that defines artifacts of a software application, the artifacts including application requirements, application code comprised of a plurality of code modules, and test cases; identifying, by a traceability link generator, a first sub-link between at least one application requirement and at least one code module of the application code, where the first sub-link indicates a relationship between the at least one application requirement and the at least one code module, wherein identification of the first sub-link comprises: executing at least one test case to determine related code modules; determining a topic associated with the determined related code modules; and comparing a topic associated with the determined related code modules with a topic associated with the at least one application; identifying, by the traceability link generator, a second sub-link between at least one test case and the at least one code module, where the second sub-link indicates a relationship between the at least one test case and the at least one code module; determining, by the traceability link generator, a first traceability link between the at least one test case and the at least one application requirement based on the first sub-link and the second sub-link, whereby the traceability link indicates that the at least one test case tests the software application for compliance with the at least one application requirement; wherein the existence of the first traceability link is determined based upon a number of algorithms, wherein the traceability link generator is further configured to determine a reliability value that represents an accuracy of the existence of the first traceability link between the at least one test case and the at least one application requirement; and wherein the reliability value is determined as a function of the number of algorithms by which the existence of the first traceability link is determined such that the reliability value increases as the number of algorithms increases; determining an existence of a second traceability link between an application and test case based at least in part on the determination of the first traceability link; communicating information regarding the first and second traceability links to a user; receiving an indication from the user that the first traceability link is invalid; and determining the second traceability link to be invalid based at least on the indication from the user. |
