Measuring impact factors to achieve conflict-free set of quality attributes

Abstract

Softw are quality attributes are specialized requirements derived based on the requirements of the stakeholders during requirement engineering. The software system requires fulfilling the derived set of qualities to achieve high-quality software system. However, achieving a set of quality attributes can be tricky because of the underlying correlation impact among the quality attributes. Most of the case requirement engineers overlook correlation aspect which can drive in selecting a conflicting set of quality attributes. Design decisions based on conflicting quality attributes can lead towards an unsuccessful software system. Therefore, in this paper, we propose conflict-free quality attributes achieving approach measuring the impact factor. This approach will help requirement engineers to derive a conflict-free set of quality attributes through measuring the impact score of each quality attributes on other candidate quality attributes.
