Abstract

Many Web Applications are depending on keeping a loyal user group.This is partly archived by frequent updates, including new content,new presentation and new functionality. Time-to-market (TTM) is animportant requirement for these updates. This pose a challenge forthe quality of Web Applications, which have to be balancedproperly. When prioritising new requirements, the benefits and theconsequences have to be assessed and conflicts between requirementshave to be resolved. This can be done by using trade-off analysis.A tool that can be used to facilitate a trade-off analysis is theQuality Function Deployment (QFD) method. This paper reports on anexperiment that we have conducted to observe how QFD contributes toresolve conflicts between requirements, to make a prioritisationand to enhance the communication in a development team.
