  Authors : Vahab Yousefi Davood-Khani; Soheil Afraz

 

Due to the development and growth of information technology, software systems and server organizations have encountered a huge amount of information and new requirements. The requirements that change over time and elicitation of these requirements from an aggregation of needs are an important challenge. To overcome these problems, researchers for development of your projects presented different techniques and approaches. Software projects developers are among the pioneers in this field and are focusing on the requirements engineering approach using elicitation techniques. This paper presents a new approach based on requirements engineering has been developed in software projects by Random Forest algorithm. The approach consists of three phases. In the first phase, the integrated modeling language graphs were used to formal description of the architecture and system used to identify the project risks and bottlenecks. In the second phase, the features and diagnosis indicators as learning are given to Random Forest algorithm. In the last phase, a dynamic model is presented to evaluate the reliability of detection with colored petri Nets, which shows the risks and critical conditions in the project. In Comparison of proposed approach with another works, the results show that identification of software projects risks and bottlenecks is a critical and necessity to make progress in the software development based on Requirement Engineering activities.

In this paper, an approach was presented based on requirements engineering in the development of software projects using random forest algorithm. The proposed approach using the documentation and analysis of the indicators affecting the risk of bottlenecks was identified with the help of random forest algorithm and reveals the effects of indicators in the software development process are based on the requirements engineering. A dynamic Petri-Nets based network model was proposed to assess and evaluate the reliability and availability of the proposed approach. The results of the three different runs indicate that the proposed approach has high reliability and availability for development in software projects. The disadvantages and shortcomings of this approach are the lack of support for the agile software development methodology and the high response time. Future works are focused on supporting different software development methodologies and also the study of privileges indicators with high power of learning.
