Visualizing Software Risks in Software Engineering Projects using Risk Sensitivity Analysis Approach

Abstract

Project risk management involves a systematic process of identifying, analyzing and responding to software risk in the project. Unfortunately, there were too many software risks involved in software engineering projects. Thus, it took a lot of time to investigate all the software risks that potentially occur in the project. Most of the project managers were only aware about the software risks when the software risk has occurred during the project. Therefore, an overview to visualize and prioritize software risks using sensitivity analysis need to be developed to help project managers determine software risks that has occurred in software engineering projects. This study adopts Systematic Literature Review (SLR) as the methodology to identify the software risks that have occurred in the project and a web-based integrated with risk sensitivity analysis approach to visualize and prioritize the software risks. The study suggests that a web-based application integrated with risk sensitivity analysis can be an alternative technique to assist project managers to identify high potential software risks that might occur in software engineering projects.
