Identify and Manage the Software Requirements Volatility

Management of software requirements volatility through development of life cycle is a very important stage. It helps the team to control significant impact all over the project (cost, time and effort), and also it keeps the project on track, to finally satisfy the user which is the main success criteria for the software project. In this research paper, we have analysed the root causes of requirements volatility through a proposed framework presenting the requirements volatility causes and how to manage requirements volatility during the software development life cycle. Our proposed framework identifies requirement error types, causes of requirements volatility and how to manage these volatilities to know the necessary changes and take the right decision according to volatility measurements (priorities, status and working hours). This framework contains four major phases (Elicitation and Analysis phase, Specification Validation phase, Requirements Volatility Causes phase and Changes Management phase). We will explain each phase in detail.
