Abstract

Today's need for rapid software development has generated a great interest in employing commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software products as a way of managing cost, developing time, and effort. With an abundance of COTS software packages to choose from, the problem now is how to systematically evaluate, rank, and select a COTS product that best meets the software project requirements and at the same time can leverage off the current corporate information technology architectural environment. This paper describes a systematic process for decision support in evaluating and ranking COTS software. Performed right after the requirement analysis phase, this process provides the evaluators with more concise, structural, and step-by-step activities for determining the best COTS software product with manageable risk. In addition, the process is presented in phases that are flexible to allow for customization or tailoring to meet various projects' requirements

COTS软件选择过程

今天对快速软件开发的需求产生了对使用商用现货(COTS)软件产品作为管理成本、开发时间和工作的一种方式的极大兴趣。有了大量可供选择的COTS软件包，现在的问题是如何系统地评估、排序和选择最能满足软件项目需求的COTS产品，同时又能利用当前的企业信息技术体系结构环境。本文描述了一个系统的决策支持过程，用于对COTS软件进行评价和排序。在需求分析阶段之后执行，此过程为评估人员提供了更简洁、结构化和逐步的活动，以确定具有可管理风险的最佳COTS软件产品。此外，该过程以灵活的阶段呈现，以允许定制或裁剪以满足各种项目的需求
