Requirement Change Management in Global Software Environment Using Cloud Computing

Abstract

The successful implementation of any software project depends upon the requirements. Change in requirements at any stage during the life cycle of software development is taken as a healthy process. However, making out this change in a co-located environment is somewhat easier than the distributed environment where stakeholders are scattered at more than one location. This raises many challenges i.e. coordination, communication & control, managing change effectively and efficiently and managing central repository. Thus, cloud computing can be applied to minimize these challenges among the stakeholders. We have used a case study to evaluate the framework using cloud computing.

Intelligent Mechanism for Cloud Federation and Requirements Changes Management

“…5.1). In [10], authors have adopted CC to solve the problem of requirement change management in global software development environment. Authors in [11] motivate the need for a new requirements engineering methodology for systematically helping businesses and users to adopt cloud services and for mitigating risks in such transition.…”
