“…A system may have a hundred or more requirements in the early phase of software development. It is not possible to model and implement all of the elicited requirements due to different constraints of an organization [20]. Selection of SRs for modeling from the set of the requirements is a "multi-criteria decision-making" (MCDM) process.…”

“…In this study, we are studying the IES so that different types of the activities related to an examination system can be implemented after modeling. The key activities related to an IES include the following [20,21]: (a) download the hall ticket, (b) submit examination form, (c) download end semester mark-sheet of various courses offered by a university or an institution, etc.…”

Software requirements (SRs) modeling is one of the sub-processes of requirements engineering whose aim is to model and design the SRs before the development of a project. Different techniques are employed for representing the SRs using goal concepts, unified modeling language, etc. There could be a large number of SRs after the completion of the requirements elicitation process. It is not practical to model the complete set of the identified SRs because of the cost, time, and other limitations of an organization. There should be some systematic methodology to identify and select those SRs for modeling that need to be implemented during the software development process. The selection of SRs from the list of the elicited requirements is a multi-criteria decision-making process. In this process different stakeholders participate in the selection of the SRs. Linguistic variables may be used by the stakeholders to specify the preferences of SRs. To deal with this issue, a method has been proposed using a fuzzy based approach so that the selected set of SRs can be modeled and implemented during the development phase. The proposed method is explained by considering the small and large set of SRs for an institute examination system. The ranking value of the functional requirements of an examination system is computed. Based on the ranking order, top three requirements are modeled using use-case diagrams (UCDs) and class diagrams. It is found that both diagrams represent different information about the requirements of an examination system and there is no overlap in the information captured through UCDs and class diagrams.

“…Embora haja vários estudos que aplicaram métodos MCDM para priorização de requisitos de software (Sadiq, Parveen & Jain, 2021;Nazim, Mohammad & Sadiq, 2022), por meio do levantamento bibliográfico realizado pelo presente estudo e da consulta a revisões sistemáticas sobre esta temática (Achimugu et al, 2014;Bukhsh et al, 2020), verificou-se a escassez de estudos brasileiros com esse enfoque. Além disso, constatou-se a ausência de trabalhos voltados para priorização de requisitos de software de apoio à MCDM.…”

A priorização de requisitos de software é uma atividade de suma importância para a Engenharia de Software. É abordada na literatura como um problema de decisão multicritério, baseado em julgamentos de especialistas. Para lidar com a subjetividade desses julgamentos, este estudo propõe o uso do método Fuzzy TOPSIS e realiza uma aplicação para priorização de requisitos para um novo software de apoio a tomada de decisões. Os requisitos foram avaliados por três pesquisadores envolvidos no projeto de desenvolvimento. Os resultados apontaram como prioritários os requisitos relacionados ao uso de critérios qualitativos e qualitativos, e à possibilidade de atribuição de pesos aos critérios. Diferentemente das abordagens prévias, o método aplicado torna possível avaliar os pesos dos decisores utilizando termos linguísticos. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados podem ser replicados em aplicações futuras voltadas à priorização de requisitos.
