In this paper we present a new method for the application of data mining tools on the management phase of software development process. Specifically, we describe two tools, the first one based on supervised learning, and the second one on unsupervised learning. The goal of this method is to induce a set of management rules that make easy the development process to the managers. Depending on how and to what is this method applied, it will permit an a priori analysis, a monitoring of the project or a post-mortem analysis.

This paper presents a set of computer-aided tools for problem analysis in the software development process. Jackson’s problem diagrams are used to model the problem owners’ needs and relevant contexts for the software to be built. An algorithm based on three classes of rules is provided for the systematic transformation of these models into behavioral descriptions of the software. This work is part of our long-term research efforts aiming at embedding and empirically evaluating Jackson’s Problem Frames framework (PF) in requirements engineering practice.

Specification Techniques

Requirements Engineering is concerned with identifying, analyzing,documenting and managing software requirements, which is an importantphase in the software development process. Research showsthat most software design failures are due to requirements engineeringissues. Thus, we propose a solution for the active learningof requirements specification techniques. Considering that the userstory technique is currently well accepted by IT companies, thispaper proposes a mobile game that supports learning and practicein writing user stories.

The performance of Requirement Engineering is like framework for software development process. All-inclusive software has four mainstays of requirement engineering processes i.e. Functional and non-functional requirements, design,implementation and testing build the complete software fortification on top of the mainstays. Requirement engineers have to face numerous challenges to develop successful and impressive software. Requirements Engineering (RE) leads software development process. Different constraints and needs of users are explored as well as hitches in previous system are depicted. The scope of this study is to exemplify the difficulties faced by users in the utmost maiden phase of RE Requirements Elicitation and a framework is presented as well. A survey was conducted in different campuses of Universities in Pakistan for this purpose. Questionnaire was distributed among project development students of various disciplines to gather and highlighted the problems during Requirements Elicitation. Finally the predictive statistical software SPSS was used to input the collected data for more precise calculations, the results of which are discussed in section 3.

The Relationship

Poor project requirements engineering (RE) practice is one of the major causes of project failure. However, many organizations do not adequately manage a project's requirements leading to a poor design basis. The primary purpose of this research was to investigate the associations among RE practice, project performance, and competitive advantage. The second objective was to evaluate the mediating effect of project performance on the relationship between RE practice and competitive advantage. The third objective was to determine whether the impact of RE practice on project performance was moderated by project type. The results suggest that RE training and improvement may contribute to project performance. In addition, project performance has a significant effect on competitive advantage. The testing also supports a role for project performance as a partial mediator in the relationship between RE practice and competitive advantage. The findings also indicate that project duration has a moderating effect on the relationship between RE practice and project performance. The research results offer guides to software development process. Findings from this study are helpful to project managers and project planners in deciding whether to adopt RE practice in software development process. Project planners can use the research results to modify their current process.
