Abstract

Software Development is a dynamic activity. Requirements of the stakeholders keep on changing throughout the lifecycle of a project development. These Volatile requirements are considered as a major risk factor during system development in the software industry. Requirement Volatility is found to be having a significant impact on schedule & cost overrun in software projects. This paper discusses an approach for identifying volatile requirement and proposes an algorithm to automate the identification of volatile requirements in a requirement document at an early stage so that preventive measures can be taken. Also, we are proposing an approach to analyze the dependencies among various requirements which can be very lucrative in requirement management especially in the presence of volatile requirements.
