Abstract

The importance of candidate software requirements can vary by orders of magnitude, yet most software providers do not have accurate and efficient means for selecting among them. This papers describes a case study at Ericsson Radio Systems AB of two techniques for software requirements prioritizing as a means for determining the importance of candidate requirements, a pair-wise comparison technique and a numeral assignment technique. The results from the case study indicate that the pair-wise comparison technique is an efficient, informative and accurate means for finding the candidate requirements importance. We therefore recommend the pair-wise comparison technique for software requirements prioritizing. At Ericsson we have extended its use in other development projects.
