A Hybrid Technique based on Standard SRS Modules for Software Requirement Prioritization

Requirement prioritization is an important consideration. Normally solutions do not focus on some specific considerations like unique priority to a requirement and standard conformance in prioritization. Previously, some of ideologies of requirement prioritization have been designed to provide an end-to-end solution for system development life cycle. Ranking, n-based requirements and much more contain many ambiguities. AHP, Weiger’s method, Kano’s method, QFD are the latest requirement prioritization solutions that focus on quality to choose requirements. This study considers an overview of different prioritization techniques commonly practiced by software industry and their flaws/ambiguities. Study focuses on solutions those conform the SRS document a symbol of standard to be followed in software industry. Factors taken are cost, volatility and risk. In nature of requirement criticality, importance and optional be the part of the discussion. Finally, we testify the suggested solution with a case study of video renting system and find out results in graphical form.
