Monitoring software risks based on integrated AHP-ANN method

Abstract EN

Software risk management refers to systematic process for analyzing and identifying the project risks.

The present paper provides a hybrid method for IT software risks identification.

Software projects possess different features which increase the project failure possibilities.

Therefore, the present work integrate the Artificial Neural network with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP-ANN) in order to solve the problem of software project estimation in early stage.

The questionnaire developed to find out the risk functional model and provide the proposed method with proper data.

The results observe a major common risk in software projects is the insufficient knowledge based on different software project life cycle stages.

Also, there are some other important factors in software projects such as lack of good estimation in project scheduling, poor definition of project requirements which cause human errors.
