Priorização automática de atividades de desenvolvimento de software: um estudo de caso

Abstract

The prioritization of development activities in software companies commonly is done in an arbitrary and subjective way, based solely on the experience of the company’s employees. In this context, this work aims to present a method of automatic prioritization of software development activities, through an algorithm that combines the use of an Artificial Neural Network (RNA) with an ordering method. To validate the accuracy of the proposed method, a case study was conducted, with activity data provided by Visual Software. The experiments allowed to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed method qualitatively and quantitatively, generating satisfactory results, which indicate the feasibility of implementing the proposed method in the company targeted by the case study.
