Abstract

This paper presents a software risk prediction tool for risk analysis during the development of a software product. The term "Risk" refers to a problem that can threaten the success of the software project but has not happened yet. Risks are uncertain. The main objective of each organization is to provide very high quality software to their customers. The term "Quality" is a value to the person. But there is a long list of software risks that can have adverse impact on the quality of the software. It is necessary to address all the risks; otherwise, they may lead to undesireable results. Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) describe different concepts with different aspects of the behaviour of complex systems. A software tool based upon FCM has been developed for assessing software risks. This paper describes the reasoning behind the focus on risk management during the software development process and its importance in delivering high quality software by assessing software risks during the development process using fuzzy cognitive maps.
