Development of a matrix methodology for database reengineering and improvement: an e-government case study
by Gary P. Moynihan, Robert G. Batson
Electronic Government, an International Journal (EG), Vol. 3, No. 2, 2006

Abstract: Design structure matrices have become an accepted tool for product development. However, these approaches focus exclusively on new product development in isolation. They ignore the fact that many products are improvements on existing versions. This is particularly the case with the software. An analogue to the technique is described, which enables the traceability of the software characteristics back to the original customer requirements via a set of integrated matrices. The use of this analogue approach as a requirements' flowdown tool was subjected to a proof-of-concept test during a research project for the US Federal Aviation Administration.
