Using group recommendation heuristics for the prioritization of requirements

Group recommendation heuristics have been successfully applied in different domains such as Interactive Television and e-Tourism. Our work focuses on the improvement of requirements prioritization techniques on the basis of group recommendation technologies. First, we analyse the impact of preference visibility on the outcome of the requirements prioritization process. In this context we evaluate the resulting software quality and the satisfaction of stakeholders with the requirements prioritization. Second, we analyse standard group recommendation heuristics on a dataset originated from a study conducted at our university. Finally, we propose new heuristics to improve the prediction quality and conclude with an evaluation of the different recommendation heuristics.
