Abstract

One of the major chronic problems in software development is the fact that application requirements are almost never stable and fixed. Creeping user requirements have been troublesome since the software industry began. Several empirical studies have reported that volatile requirements are a challenging factor in most information systems development projects. Software process simulation modeling has increasingly been used for a variety of issues during software development. The management of software development risks is one of them. This study presents an approach for simulating and analyzing the effect of Requirements Creep on certain software development risk management activities. The proposed algorithm is based on stochastic simulation and has been implemented using C.
