“…Functional requirement defines specific function that a system has to perform such as login, register, logout etc. whilst Non-functional requirement describes any quality which a system will have [17]. Tables 1 and 2 bellow presents functional and non-functional requirements of the IAMA-WBS system respectively The System Administrator will register staff, departments, vehicles, routes, stations and users into the system.…”

The rapid population growth in Dar Es Salaam has prompted the demand of effective transport system in the city. This tremendous rise of population led to serious road traffic congestions, which brings a number of challenges into the city and other growing urban areas. City authorities attempted various solutions to control the traffic congestions such as construction of new roads, expansion of existing roads, installation of traffic lights and other transportation infrastructures such as reestablishment of commuter train to operate within the city but they couldn't effectively relieve the problem.

Continuous requirements elicitation is an essential aspect of software product evolution to keep systems aligned with changing user needs. However, current requirements engineering approaches do not explicitly address sustainability in the evolution of systems. Reasons include a lack of awareness and a lack of shared understanding of the concept of sustainability in the RE community. Identifying and analysing the effects of requirements regarding sustainability is challenging, as these effects can have an impact on multiple stakeholders and manifest themselves in one or more sustainability dimensions at different points in time. We argue that crowd-focused semi-automated requirements engineering allows the engagement of a large number of stakeholders (including users and domain experts) in a continuous cycle of negotiation regarding the potential effects of requirements on sustainability. Based on a motivating scenario, we introduce the idea of a platform for crowd-focused requirements engineering that supports the evolution towards sustainability. For the three key aspects of this platform, we present our ongoing work and discuss early results. We outline how the platform can be utilised to improve the broader awareness and understanding of sustainability, not only for the involved crowd but also for researchers and society in general.

“…But it required human interference in prioritising the preferences. Dabbagh et al (2016) conducted two experiments that aimed at evaluating the prioritising approaches. Comparison of the IPA approach with the HAM-based approach in terms of three parameters, namely time-consumption, accuracy, and ease of use proved that IPA outperformed other approaches, but there was no hierarchical relationship between the functional and the non-functional requirements.…”

“…In other words, one can say that the requirement prioritisation plays a vital role in the decision-making process corresponding to software development. The importance of the requirement prioritisation is highlighted in a number of research studies that pointed the problems of requirements prioritisation in the software engineering domain over the years (Dabbagh et al, 2016).…”

Requirement prioritisation is one of the major areas in the software product development process. Ranking methods employed for prioritising orders the requirements based on their importance. Ranking the requirements contributes in enhancing the quality of the product using additional features and to attain customer satisfaction. However, effectiveness is the growing concern in requirement prioritisation. This paper proposes a ranking method WhaleRank to rank the requirement and the effectiveness of ranking gets enhanced using the whale optimisation algorithm (WOA). The WhaleRank method uses four ranking functions based on dictionary words, similarity measure, perception of the manager, and the newly updated requirements that are combined to form a linear rank using the ranking constants. WOA determines the optimal weights of the ranking constants that promote to determine the optimal rank for the requirements. Experimentation with the methods like CBRank, average rank, WhaleRank, and GA provide a comparative performance analysis that proves that the proposed WhaleRank outperforms all methods in terms of accuracy and disagreement measure (NDA) and the values of accuracy and NDA is 83.33% and 16.24% respectively.
