Trade-off analysis among elicitation techniques using simple additive weighting method

Abstract

Requirement elicitation is the first and the most important activity of requirement engineering. The success and on time delivery of software is highly dependent upon the appropriate requirements. In order to elicit most suitable requirements, different requirement elicitation techniques are used by the engineers. The selection of suitable technique in a particular situation is a challenging task. The reason is that project attributes and their sub-situational factors have high impact on a technique selection. A technique may be suitable in one situation but may not fit in the other. This research proposed simple additive weighting method to carry out the trade-off analysis among techniques selection on the basis of project attributes and their sub-situational factors.
