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.

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.

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 National Defence University of Malaysia (NDUM) is the sole provider of tertiary education for future military personnel. As a boutique university, NDUM emphasises on developing military character strengths among its students in all aspects of co-curricular and academic curriculum. This paper will present the relationship between Military Character Strengths (MCS) and the software development process (SDP), as part of the Final Year Project (FYP) for Computer Science students at the Faculty of Defence Science and Technology. This study has analysed the formation of an outstanding and successful NDUM student, which can be influenced by the MCS. NDUM has outlined the characteristics of its ideal graduates, known as the 'Leaders of Character' (LoC). The results showed that MCS are important attributes of LoC implementation. The results further showed that there was a correlation between MCS and LoC in software development process for Computer Science students in NDUM.

Objects needs verification through statistical model in software development process which are important in software industries now a day. Software development process consist of several steps right from analysis to deployment and maintenance, therefore statistical model would certainly analyses object(s) and its various qualities and its relationship during software development process. Earlier, we have designed a TMS where, object(s) being available for various purposes like accessibility, reusability in a development of software product or embedded product, thus statistical model justify the level of accessibility in terms of profitability and quantity of access. So far various statistical models have been implemented to identify and established the relationship but not all statistical model are used to analyses and calculate the parametric standard and determine the reusability factor in software development process model. In fact, this statistical model justified at various level of development and would help in determine cost of accessibility (CoA) and cost of reusability (CoR)

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of various factors affecting the choice of methods for working with software requirements. These factors include the type of project and the type of stakeholders. To search for the relationship between different types of stakeholders, forms of interaction with them and methods of working with requirements, a description of real IT projects was analysed, including a list of tasks that were performed as part of the analytical work, including methods of working with requirements. Based on the results of the study, recommendations are formulated for choosing methods for working with requirements based on the type of stakeholders, which can improve the efficiency of the software development process.
