We address the problem of constructing assurance cases such as high cost and time of constructing and maintaining assurance cases. We have presented several approaches for retrieving relevant documents and constructing assurance cases from existing documents, artifacts, or products in software development processes. Those proposed approaches allow us to reduce the cost of constructing assurance cases by reducing the time needed to select the relevant documents and construct assurance cases. We perform an experiment with a data set from an open-source software development project, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of our approaches. The experimental results suggest that the proposed approaches can be effective in terms of reducing the time and the cost for constructing assurance cases with acceptable confidence level, indicated by some assurance case quality metrics which are proposed by our research work.
