“…This happens mainly because the effort required for the integration process would highly depend on the level of interdependency between the NFRs, and, more specifically, on the defined conflicts between them. To objectively assess NFR conflicts, we propose to use the local conflict measure [23], which reports on the level of conflict (LLC: Local Level of Conflict) for each piece of functionality, based on the list of NFRs that interact at this functionality:…”

In order to meet commitments in software projects, a realistic assessment must be made of project scope. Such an assessment relies on the availability of knowledge on the user-defined project requirements and their effort estimates and priorities, as well as their risk. This knowledge enables analysts, managers and software engineers to identify the most significant requirements from the list of requirements initially defined by the user. In practice, this scope assessment is applied to the Functional Requirements (FRs) provided by users who are unaware of, or ignore, the Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs). This paper presents ongoing research which aims at managing NFRs during the software development process. Establishing the relative priority of each NFR, and obtaining a rough estimate of the effort and risk associated with it, is integral to the software development process and to resource management. Our work extends the taxonomy of the NFR framework by integrating the concept of the "hardgoal". A functional size measure of NFRs is applied to facilitate the effort estimation process. The functional size measurement method we have chosen is COSMIC-FFP, which is theoretically sound and the de facto standard in the software industry.

Coupling is an internal software attribute that can be used to indicate the degree of interdependence among the components of a software system. Coupling in software has been linked to predict external software quality attributes such as fault-proneness, ripple effects, changeability, impact analysis etc. Despite an interesting body of work for measuring coupling in Aspect-Oriented (AO) Systems, there is no complete generic coupling framework for AO systems. In this paper, we have proposed a generic coupling measurement framework that takes into account three, the most well known families of Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) languages, AspectJ, CaesarJ and Hyper/J. This paper contributes to an enhanced understanding of coupling in AO systems, which in turn helps to (i) define new coupling metrics which permit the analysis and comparison of Java, AspectJ, CaesarJ and Hyper/J implementations, and (ii) integrate different existing measures and examine same concepts from different perspectives.
