Framework for Gap Analysis based on Priority of Software Deployment Requirements

Abstract

Software deployment is an important phase of the software development life cycle because it makes software available for the customers. This process needs collaboration between developers and customers. Usually, there are many particular requirements requested from customer aspect. However, software deployment is not directly related to the development of software main functions. Many developers, therefore, tend to underinvest in this process. The critical consequence of a deployment failure is that software may be not available on the targeted environment. This paper presents a framework for gap analysis based on software deployment requirements prioritization. It supports an analysis of a large volume of requirements in order for developer to perform deployment process.
