RESUMO:

Software traceability, known for the relationship between any software engineering artifacts, brings great advantages to the development process. The information it provides helps in decision making in the face of a change, better understanding of the artifact, reusability, maintenance, forecasting of costs and deadlines, among others. With environments increasingly adept at agile methodologies, with client side-by-side giving constant feedbacks, a adequacy to these requested changes has been a common practice during system development. And, in order for changes to be made safely, traceability information helps in making decisions, with a goal in which the change does not bring inconsistencies, introduce errors, and generate system failures.
Some project management tools support traceability elements. However, with several data that can be provided with such a practice, it is difficult to interpret them, especially when they are presented only textually. Knowing that the visualization of information brings the possibility of an analysis with large volumes of data in a fast and clear way, offering a safer decision making and, allowing to discover information previously unseen, it is possible to verify in the literature techniques of visualization of information of traceability. However, such techniques require information in addition to these data, need to consider the pillars of information exposed in the academy (problematic, what, when and who to view) to have an adequate visualization.
With this purpose, this work performs interviews in the industry to respond to the pillars of information considered in the proposal of a visualization. Then, an analysis based on Grounded Theory is done on the data collected. Then, in the assembled context of traceability, defined profiles, needs and problems described, and artifacts generated in agile environments, the existing information visualizations are studied in the bibliography.
As a result, a discussion and suggestion of appropriate visualization for traceability information are made based on the suggestions in the literature and data collected from the interview. Later, with Heuristics created, an evaluation of the project management tools that integrate the platform of hosting and versioning of data Github is made, to see if they provide the noticed visualization of traceability information.
