Reconstructing software evolution: Traceability from code commits to fault manifestation in CI

This paper presents Eiffel-Store , an open-source tool for real-time traceability in Continuous Integration (CI) pipelines. Unlike traditional batch visualization tools, Eiffel-Store dynamically visualizes live Eiffel events from CI tools (e.g., Jenkins) using MongoDB and Meteor.js. It supports incremental updates, enabling users to trace faults back to specific commits across the pipeline. Events can be streamed from RabbitMQ or added manually, offering flexibility for diverse workflows. By connecting code changes to final product faults, Eiffel-Store improves transparency, debugging, and quality assurance. The tool has been tested with industry partners and is available publicly to promote adoption and further development.
