  abstract = {There is a wide consensus on the benefits of software traceability.
	However, traceability techniques are still not commonly used in industry
	$typically only in larger companies and if mandated by standards
	such as the CMMI or ISO 15504. Success stories in small companies
	are quite rare. However, small companies represent a significant
	share of the IT industry and a better understanding of their needs
	is essential for the research community. This paper presents APIS,
	a traceability environment we developed and introduced in a very
	small software company. We discuss the traceability approach and
	report on key lessons learned. We have found in the project that
	comparably simple automation techniques are surprisingly effective.
	We believe that the lessons learned in this project are relevant
	for researchers and practitioners facing similar challenges},
