Title FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT FOR REQUIREMENT PRIORITIZATION

Author(s) Malik Muhammad Junaid

Abstract Requirements engineering is a crucial phase of software engineering, and requirements prioritization is an essential stage of requirements engineering. Requirements prioritization goals at eliciting which requirements of software need to be covered in a particular release. The key point is which requirement will be selected in the next iteration and which one will be delayed to other iterations for minimizing risk during development and meeting stakeholders' needs. There are many existing methods for requirement prioritization, but most of these methods do not cover continuous growth and change of requirements. Therefore, there is a need of a framework which can help to prioritize the requirements efficiently. A systematic literature review has been performed to identify the different aspects from the existing literature. Available methods for requirement prioritization are also studied in order to find the limitations. To complete this study, the partially mixed research method has been used. The partially mixed research method contains the mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods. After identification of aspects from the systematic literature review, a survey has been performed to gain the market knowledge of the requirement prioritization process. In order to add more clarity to the results of survey, a focus group discussion has been conducted and triangulation process has been applied to find and validate the final results, using these aspects a framework has been designed to improve the requirements prioritization process. The designed framework takes raw or non-prioritized requirements as input and a list of most important aspects that has been identified in this study, then each requirement is mapped with each aspect using scale o to 3. 0 for no relation, 1 for weak relation, 2 for moderate relation, and 3 for strong relation, this provides an importance score and each requirement is then prioritized based on obtained importance score, which is presented by the framework as output.
