Abstract The software development process mostly depends on accurately identifying both essential and optional features. Initially, user needs are typically expressed in free-form language, requiring significant time and human resources to translate these into clear functional and non-functional requirements. To address this challenge, various machine learning (ML) methods have been explored to automate the understanding of these requirements, aiming to reduce time and human effort. However, existing techniques often struggle with complex instructions and large-scale projects. In our study, we introduce an innovative approach known as the Functional and Non-functional Requirements Classifier (FNRC). By combining the… More >

Abstract In the early stage of software development, a software requirements specification (SRS) is essential, and whether the requirements are clear and explicit is the key. However, due to various reasons, there may be a large number of misunderstandings. To generate high-quality software requirements specifications, numerous researchers have developed a variety of ways to improve the quality of SRS. In this paper, we propose a questions extraction method based on SRS elements decomposition, which evaluates the quality of SRS in the form of numerical indicators. The proposed method not only evaluates the quality of SRSs but… More >

Abstract Forecasting on success or failure of software has become an interesting and, in fact, an essential task in the software development industry. In order to explore the latest data on successes and failures, this research focused on certain questions such as is early phase of the software development life cycle better than later phases in predicting software success and avoiding high rework? What human factors contribute to success or failure of a software? What software practices are used by the industry practitioners to achieve high quality of software in their day-to-day work? In order to… More >
