The demands of SE imply a growing need for using AI to support all aspects of the software development process. This chapter provides insights into the application of knowledge based approaches to the development of agile software development, software product line, software components and architecture. In particular, it presents three research systems that demonstrate the potential benefits of utilising knowledge based approaches to support agile methods. The first system, called SoBA, supports the use of a story card for agile software development; the second system, called .NET designer, provides design rationale for choosing appropriate architectural solutions, and the third system, called RAIS, provides reuse assessment and improvement for designing reusable software components.

As the popularity and acceptance of agile software development methodologies increases, the need to integrate usability engineering in the design and development processes is imperative. While, agile the focus is on technical and functional requirements not on end-user interaction, usability is usually only dealt with on the side. Combining this two in practice will go a long way in development of better product. Since the success and acceptance of software product depends not only on the technologies used but how well it integrates user-oriented methods. Therefore, this chapter puts together works on how usability engineering has been integrated with agile processes.

The software industries follow some patterns (i.e., process model to develop any software product). Agile methodology is the most famous and used process model. It is a trend to develop efficient software products with high client satisfaction. In this chapter, the authors discuss agile methodology and its components, benefits, and drawbacks while using the cloud computing in agile software development, existing frameworks for agile-cloud combination, and some security measures.

In agile software development methodology, software product is developed through a few iterations and delivered incrementally. In spite of the known benefits of the agile methodology, yet issue still exists in developing high-quality software product using this methodology. Hence, quality assurance mechanism should be in place in agile development to ensure quality adherence to the software product.  However, taking up quality assurance in agile software development is not an easy task as it has its own manifesto and principles that need to be met. Thus, this paper highlights the issues and challenges towards adopting quality assurance in agile development methodology.  Particularly, in aniteration where we need to assure that the product increment meets the requirements as well as to decide the requirements for next increment and iteration planning. Subsequently, few measuresare identifiedconcerning the issues. The discussion in this paper is based on Scrum case, yet still relevant to other types of agile methodologies.

This chapter describes an ongoing process to define a suitable process improvement model for story cards based requirement engineering process and practices at agile software development environments. Key features of the SMM (Story card Maturity Model) process are: solves the problems related to the story cards like requirements conflicts, missing requirements, ambiguous requirements, define standard structure of story cards, to address non-functional requirements from exploration phase, and the use of a simplified and tailored assessment method for story cards based requirements engineering practices based on the CMM, which is poorly addressed at CMM. CMM does not cover how the quality of the requirements engineering process should be secured or what activities should be present for the requirements engineering process to achieve a certain maturity level. It is difficult to know what is not addressed or what could be done to improve the process. The authors also presents how can be the identified areas of improvement from assessment can be mapped with best knowledge based story cards practices for agile software development environments.
