Requirements Prioritization is to ensure the product developed resonates with the expectations of the stakeholders. Requirements prioritization techniques assist in ensuring this where assessments about the priorities of the requirements will be carried out by stakeholders whose judgment is all about their perception of the system which cannot be precise always. Guesses to be made about yet to ...

One of the key challenges in software testing today is prioritizing and evaluating test cases. The decision of which test cases to design, select and execute first is of great importance, in particular considering that this needs to be done within tight resource constraints on time and budget. In practice, prioritized selection of test cases requires the evaluation of different test case criter...

Due to dynamic nature of current software development methods, changes in requirements are embraced and given proper consideration. However, this triggers the rank reversal problem which involves re-prioritizing requirements based on stakeholders’ feedback. It incurs significant cost because of time elapsed in large number of human interactions. To solve this issue, a Semi-Automated Framework f...

The authors examined the prioritization of abruptly appearing objects in real-world scenes by measuring the eyes' propensity to be directed to the new object. New objects were fixated more often than chance whether they appeared during fixations (transient onsets) or saccades (nontransient onsets). However, onsets that appeared during fixations were fixated sooner and more often than those coin...

Regression testing is a very expensive and time consuming process as there may be insufficient resources to re-execute all the test cases in resource and time constrained environment. It acquires a lot of human effort, if done manually. Lot of techniques have been reported on how to select regression tests so that the number of test cases do not boast up too high as the software evolves. The te...

As the number of systems which offer annotations on digital documents increases, robust anchoring of annotations is a key challenge. It is especially important if the annotator lacks write-access to the document being annotated. For example, if someone makes an annotation on a web page today and the web page changes tomorrow, what happens to the annotation? One approach is simply to “orphan” th...

Prioritizing resources for optimal responses to an ever growing list of existing and emerging infectious diseases represents an important challenge to public health. In the context of climate change, there is increasing anticipated variability in the occurrence of infectious diseases, notably climate-sensitive vector-borne diseases. An essential step in prioritizing efforts is to identify what ...

In the construction industry, the way the company manages its projects is a fundamental issue. IT tools supporting project portfolio management have become widely available and widely used, however, some of their processes still significantly need to be refined and made more accurate. Choosing the right project is a vital element of their way to success or failure. This also means that when a b...
