Feasibility study inputs based on requirements engineering
Robert Pergl · 2010
Abstract. Theoretically, every software project can be successful if it has unlimited resources and does not care about the profit. Because this is not true in practice, the feasibility study is an important step in the software project initial phase. To achieve a valuable analysis, it is important to identify crucial aspects related to the feasibility. Most of the aspects come from the software product requirements. An original method for identifying and documenting inputs to a feasibility study is presented in this paper. The method takes the requirements on the software product and provides a structured quantified framework for analysis of the requirements ’ impacts on the project infrastructure needs. The method formalism is based on the theoretical background of systems theory and modelling. Key words: feasibility study, requirements engineering, software engineering, information systems development, managing software projects
