Resumen en español

Unified Process is the development process adopted by many software development companies. Quality attributes, such as requirement traceability, must be standardized for this process, so that the system can achieve the quality demanded by customers. Commonly, traceability models are proposed independently of either the development process or the methodology that are followed, and its definition and maintenance depends on the quality criteria used by the developers. A traceability method for the Unified Development Process is presented in this paper. This approach proposes a workflow to control and support traceability throughout the iterations of the process. This workflow establishes a set of actions capable of generating traceability models that facilitate opportune agreement with the customers.
