Abstract Traceability builds many strong connections or links between requirements and design, so the main purpose of traceability is to maintain consistency between a high level conceptual view and a low level implementation view. The purpose of this paper is to have full consistency between all components over all phases in the oracle designer tool by allowing traceability to be carried out not only between the requirements and design but also between the code and design. In this paper, we propose a new methodology to support traceability and completeness checking between code and design of oracle database applications. The new algorithm consists of a set of interrelated steps to initialize the comparison environment. An example of a student information System is used to illustrate the work.
