Implementing Requirement Traceability in the Xen FuSa Project with OpenFastTrace
summary
OpenFastTrace (OFT) is a fast open source tracer that turns specs into requirements as code by extracting unique IDs from Markdown or reStructuredText and from comment tags in tests and implementation, producing full bidirectional links from market requirements down to test jobs. IDs follow an artifact:type:name:rev pattern so OFT detects semantic changes and flags downstream nodes; it traces entire repos in under 0.5s. OFT adds RST importing, tag-controlled revisions and printable reports, but it does not infer changes from git history or from code-only edits.
