Abstract EN
Due to the budgetary deadlines and time to market constraints, it is essential to prioritize software requirements.
The outcome of requirements prioritization is an ordering of requirements which need to be considered first during the software development process.
To achieve a high quality software system, both functional and nonfunctional requirements must be taken into consideration during the prioritization process.
Although several requirements prioritization methods have been proposed so far, no particular method or approach is presented to consider both functional and nonfunctional requirements during the prioritization stage.
In this paper, we propose an approach which aims to integrate the process of prioritizing functional and nonfunctional requirements.
The outcome of applying the proposed approach produces two separate prioritized lists of functional and non-functional requirements.
The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been evaluated through an empirical experiment aimed at comparing the approach with the two state-of-the-art-based approaches, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and hybrid assessment method (HAM).
Results show that our proposed approach outperforms AHP and HAM in terms of actual time-consumption while preserving the quality of the results obtained by our proposed approach at a high level of agreement in comparison with the results produced by the other two approaches.
