In requirement analysis, goal models play an important role in assessing alternative design options of a software system.Many qualitative and quantitative goal reasoning approaches have been proposed for goal models such as Knowledge Acquisition in Automated Space (KAOS), Non-Functional Requirements (NFR), and Goal Oriented Requirement Language (GRL).However, for i* goal model only qualitative reasoning has been proposed in Requirement Engineering literature.The aim of this paper is to present a quantitative goal reasoning for i* goal model.The proposed approach was validated with case studies from existing literature and offers a guide in the decision process.To support the validation a simulation was developed in Visual C++.
