Impact of Requirement Engineering Processes on Software Development Cost

Rajinder Singh

Abstract :

21st century has seen many technological developments. One of the industries which have seen tremendous developments is Software Development industry. Lot of research has been done in the field of software engineering to find out better models, processes and practices which can help in developing quality softwares on time and within the anticipated budget. But various studies have shown that high number of projects fails. The common problem faced by all software development companies is the rework which needs to be done after the completion of the project leading to increase in development cost of software. There are many factors which lead to rework but the most important one is the requirement elicitation. Requirements of the clients, if not precisely defined at the start of the project, there are more chances of rework. The aim of this study is to find out those practices and requirement engineering processes which if followed reduces the chances of rework thus leading to more chances of project success in terms of cost. In this study, I have studied the practices of 38 different projects taken from 9 companies in India and analyzed the impact of those practices on rework and software development cost.
