Simulating worst case scenarios and analyzing their combined effect in operational release planning
(2008) International Conference on Software Process, ICSP 2008, May 10-11 5007. p.269-281- Abstract
- Operational release planning (ORP) is concerned with assigning human resources to development tasks in software projects such that a defined set of product features can be completed under given constraints. In this paper, we present a simulation-based approach to study the impact of uncertainty. Uncertainty parameters considered in this paper are related to the features themselves (functionality, effort) and to developers (availability and productivity). The effect of variation of these four parameters (two static and two dynamic) on make-span is studied in isolation and in combination. This is done for three levels of (stochastic) pessimism ( bad , worse , and worst ). In addition to that, a comparison is done with a deterministic worst... (More)
