Numerous theories posit that affectively salient stimuli are privileged in their capacity to capture attention and disrupt ongoing cognition. Two underlying assumptions in this theoretical position are that the potency of affective stimuli transcends task boundaries (i.e., emotional distracters do not have to belong to a current task-set to disrupt processing) and that there is an asymmetry bet...

Organizations generally have a variety of IT projects to implement, but only limited resources to develop them. As information technology and systems pervade organizations, the pool of potential IT projects is continually increasing. In this paper, we explore IT project prioritization practices in a real life context and contrast them with the rational approaches which dominate the IS literatur...

Abstract— The most appropriate prioritization method is still one of the unsettled issues of the Analytic Hierarchy Process, although many studies have been made and applied. Interestingly, many transportation evaluation and selection models using AHP apply only Saaty’s Eigenvector method. Many theoretical studies have found that this method may produce rank reversals and have proposed various ...

This chapter provides an overview of techniques for prioritization of requirements for software products. Prioritization is a crucial step towards making good decisions regarding product planning for single and multiple releases. Various aspects of functionality are considered, such as importance, risk, cost, etc. Prioritization decisions are made by stakeholders, including users, managers, dev...

Regression testing is a time consuming, costly process of re-running existing test cases. As software evolves, the regression test suite grows in size. Test case prioritization techniques help by ordering test cases such that at least the test cases which cover the changes made in the software are executed amidst resource and time constraints. Genetic Algorithm (GA) has been widely used for tes...

A requirement may be defined as a demand or need. In software engineering, a requirement is a description of what a system should do. Requirements prioritization plays an important role in the requirement engineering process, particularly, with respect to critical tasks like requirements negotiation and software release planning. Selecting the right set of requirements for a product release lar...

This Software testing is “Performing Verification and Validation of the Software Product” for its correctness and accuracy of working. Every time it is not possible to perform each and every test case. Hence it is important to decide test cases prioritization. The aim of Test case prioritization is to prioritize the test case sequences and finding the faults as early as possible to improve prof...

Regression test case prioritization optimizes the ordering of test cases to be executed to meet some criteria like maximum code coverage or high rate of fault detection. In prior work we prioritized test cases according to a hybrid technique using variable based method that combined both selection and prioritization. We inferred in our approach that variables are vital source of changes in the ...

There exist a large number of approaches for prioritization of software requirements. Despite of several empirical studies, there is still a lack of evidence of which approaches that are to prefer, since different studies have resulted in different conclusions. Reasons may be due to differences in contexts, variables measured, and data sets used. This paper presents a research framework for stu...

Test Case Prioritization (TCP) is setting priority to each and every test case from test case suit and executes those test cases in descending order. The proposed generic tool will first generate test cases from UML diagram sequence diagram and prioritize them on basis of following criteria's: prioritization on depending upon depth, prioritization on dependency of number of parameters, pri...
