In early phases of the software cycle, requirements prioritization necessarily relies on the
specified requirements and on predictions of benefit and cost of individual requirements …

Solid requirements engineering has increasingly been recognized as the key to improved,
on-time, and on-budget delivery of software and systems projects. New software tools are …

Software development effort estimation (SDEE) is one of the main tasks in software project
management. It is crucial for a project manager to efficiently predict the effort or cost of a …

One of the responsibilities of developers is the early definition of non-functional
requirements (NFR) at the system level and their related allocation as functional user …

Non-functional requirements (NFRs) determine the characteristics of a software product or
service as a whole. The research described in this paper presents a quantitative framework …

Architecturally Significant Functional Requirements (ASFRs) are those functional
requirements that have a significant impact on the architecture of the software system …

Although the Agile Software Development (ADS) approach has been around for the last 15
years, it is only recently that attention has moved towards Agile Software Management …

With the substantial proliferation in demand for applications running on mobile devices,
developers and testers are foreseen to release applications with high caliber, on time and …

In this paper we introduce a generic approach to analyze system design models with regard
to the satisfaction of their Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) to enable the evaluation of …

In the system requirements phase, the non-functional requirements (NFR) are often captured
only generically at a fairly high level, and they do not yet include the levels of detail …
