Experimentation on Accuracy of Non Functional Requirement Prioritization Approaches for different complexity Projects

Publication date: Available online 20 April 2016 Source:Perspectives in Science Author(s): Raj Kumar Chopra, Varun Gupta, Durg Singh Chauhan Non functional requirements must be selected for implementation together with functional requirements to enhance the success of software projects. Three approaches exist for performing the prioritization of non functional requirements using the suitable prioritization technique. This paper performs experimentation on three different complexity versions of the industrial software project using Cost-Value prioritization technique employing three approaches. Experimentation is conducted to analyze the accuracy of individual approaches and the variation of accuracy with the complexity of the software project. The results indicate that selecting non functional requirements separately, but in accordance with functionality has higher accuracy amongst the other two approaches. Further, likewise other approaches, it witnesses the decrease in accuracy with increase in software complexity but the decrease is minimal.
