Optimizing value and cost in requirements analysis
Ho‐Won Jung · IEEE Software · 1998
When creating a software system, developers are often faced with a long list of requirements and a limited budget. The article gives developers a method to balance the cost and value of the requirements, and then implement the most cost-effective set. The author created a variant of the "knapsack" approach that reduces the complexity of earlier approaches; he presents two case studies to illustrate its application.
