Abstract
The chapter introduces a tracability solution for use in a model-driven software development approach. It argues that a trace model based on a provided traceability metamodel will provide a flexible solution for all types of artifacts to be traced througout the lifetime of a software system. The proposed traceability solution is demonstrated in the BusCatcher example where traces are established and analyzed. The authors hope that the metamodel and solution design can assist researchers and tool vendors in the development of unified trace models and services for model-driven software development approaches. Only then can the full potential of traceability be achieved
