This seminar explores BASIL, an open source requirements and traceability management tool under the ELISA Project. BASIL enables teams to connect specifications, requirements, test artifacts, documentation and source code using flexible traceability matrices while integrating with existing test infrastructures. In this session, Luigi Pellecchia, BASIL Maintainer and member of the ELISA Project Technical Steering Committee, presents how BASIL supports end-to-end traceability from requirements to code, improves collaboration and governance through role-based permissions, traceability-as-code, and AI-driven workflow guidance, and helps teams manage software quality evidence in a collaborative environment.
The session includes a live demonstration of BASIL, showcasing its web-based architecture, deployment options, and how users can create, map, and manage work items such as requirements, test specifications, and test cases. It also highlights integration with test management tools, external CI systems, and APIs, along with features for importing data, exporting traceability matrices, and automating workflows. The seminar further introduces advanced capabilities such as repository scanning and building traceability from distributed project assets, illustrating how BASIL can support complex, real-world development environments.
