Software Risk Assessment and Management with Rules Based on Fuzzy Approach

Özet

Up to now, several software risk parameters have been determined in order to assess and managesoftware development projects: Productivity, Engagement, Attention to Quality, Code BasedKnowledge and Management, Adherence to Coding Guidelines and Techniques, Learning and Skills,Personal Responsibility and etc. However, there isn’t any universally accepted methodology to applysoftware risk assessment and management. There are three main reasons of this situation: Firstly,each part of software creation is unique. There is no compelling reason to assemble two times thesame parts of software as it might be duplicated by copying it. This makes it truly difficult to make aformal and thorough correlation between two parts of software. Secondly, the current technology issomething that changes at a truly fast phase. So, each time a methodology in respect to a certain waveof technology is dependable enough, it is for the most part as of recently old. Thirdly, there is a giganticzone for innovativeness in discovering the diverse answers for a unique issue. Because of thesereasons, the technique “Fuzzy Approach” has a very convenient and proper process for definingsoftware risks due to their nature that has no certainty – uncertainty – structure and principle. Also,software risks are defined as the probability and the severity of damages that are caused by occurringof bad or undesirable events in a system. Thus, the system suffers from strategic, financial,operational, structural or integrity loss and damage. So, there is need to apply and carry out anefficient “Software Risk Assessment and Management” in order to determine and recognize softwarerisks on time before causing problems and troubles into software projects for providing successfullyaccomplishment in software development process. In this paper, usability and efficiency of “FuzzyApproached” linguistic and logical rules based on “Fuzzy Logic” in “Software Risk Assessment andManagement” have been shown and expressed in detail.
