English Abstract
Carefully developed software requirements are a key factor for project success.
It is important to control the continuing definition of requirements as they change.
The consequence of poor management of requirements change would be higher project cost, risks of schedule slippage, and decrease in quality.
Concentrating on this early phase of the software process has a deep effect on system development.
Requirements management measures help organizations to control requirements change and satisfy requirements management goal. In this dissertation, we identify measures for the specific goal and the five specific practices of Requirements Management Key Process Area (KPA) in Capability Maturity Model Integration framework CMMI.
CMMI provides guidance to use when developing processes.
The method which was used is to apply Goal Question Metrics (GQM) paradigm to the five specific practices of Requirements Management KPA in CMMI.
The GQM paradigm is a method for helping an organization to focus the measurement on their goals.
A set of measures were presented for the five specific practices of Requirements Management KPA to obtain understandability, obtain commitment, manage requirements changes, maintain bidirectional traceability, and identify inconsistencies between work product and the requirements.
The set of measures provide the organizations with better insight into Requirements Management activities and improving.
We have made a questionnaire to prove the validity and reliability of the defined measures and confirm that they are really measure the five specific practices.
The collected data were analyzed by Cranach alpha in SPSS.
Most of the defined set of measures was used in producing a software, which is the Requirement Management Measures System (RMMS).
We have applied three information systems on RMMS using historical data.
Then, for each information system some hypotheses have been followed to confirm the validity of the defined measures empirically.
