Requirements Selection: Knowledge based optimization techniques for solving the Next Release Problem.
José del Sagrado, Isabel María Del Águila Cano, Francisco Javier Orellana, Samuel Túnez · 2010
The requirements selection for the next software release is a problem always present in Software Engineering. The complex nature of this problem and the difficulty to address it using exact techniques has motivated the application of optimization techniques to obtain near optimal solutions. This work provides a review of the different optimization techniques proposed to accomplish the requirements selection problem. Moreover, it proposes the application of these techniques in a requirement tool in order to be used in real software developments.
