Abstract
Traceability has been held as an important factor in testing activities as well as model driven development. Vertical traceability affords us opportunities to improve manageability from models and test cases to code in testing and debugging phase. Traceability also makes overcome to difficulties of going up-and-down abstraction level to find out error spot of faults discovered by testing This paper represents a vertical test method which connects a system test level and an integration test level in a test stage by using UML. Experiment of how traceability works and how effective focus on error spots has been included using concrete examples of tracing from models to the code.
