“…The planning phase includes requirement prioritization, dependency identification, and time and budget for performing SAP verification activities. Further, a well-planned and transparent methodology for performing SAP verification should be defined to smoothly execute the verification process [8,10,29].…”

“…Organizations need to configure the environment to make it suitable for performing SAP verification. A proper environment is inevitable for verification since it comprises both the settings of the infrastructure responsible for system operation as well as the configuration of the system itself [8,10,29].…”

“…Typically, businesses worry about their systems' security and effectiveness only when something goes wrong. Another time when companies prioritize SAP is prior to a significant release when a security or performance failure might negatively affect the organization's image [26,29]. This shows that organizations should prioritize SAP verification to produce high-quality software and to maintain their reputation.…”

“…A lack of SAP requirements precludes the verification from fulfilling its intended function (that is, determining if the program fulfills its requirements) since it is impossible to know whether the verification findings are valid without an oracle. Incomplete requirements also strain other teams (e.g., analysts, architects, and developers) since the verification team must constantly contact them [8,29,30]. Therefore, SAP requirements should be completely specified during the requirement-engineering phase along with test cases.…”

Security and performance (SAP) are two critical NFRs that affect the successful completion of software projects. Organizations need to follow the practices that are vital to SAP verification. These practices must be incorporated into the software development process to identify SAP-related defects and avoid failures after deployment. This can only be achieved if organizations are fully aware of SAP verification activities and appropriately include them in the software development process. However, there is a lack of awareness of the factors that influence SAP verification, which makes it difficult for businesses to improve their verification efforts and ensure that the released software meets these requirements. To fill this gap, this research study aimed to identify the mediating factors (MFs) influencing SAP verification and the actions to promote them. Ten MFs and their corresponding actions were identified after thoroughly reviewing the existing literature. The mapping of MFs and their corresponding actions were initially evaluated with the help of a pilot study. Mathematical modeling was utilized to model these MFs and examine each MF’s unique effect on software SAP verification. In addition, two case studies with a small- and a medium-sized organization were used to better understand the function these MFs play in the process of SAP verification. The research findings suggested that MFs assist software development organizations in their efforts to integrate SAP verification procedures into their standard software systems. Further investigation is required to support the understanding of these MFs when building modern software systems.
