Applying the Fuzzy Expert System to Tailoring Software Development Flow

Abstract

Software projects vary in nature. Thus software organizations often define sets of guidelines for projects to use in tailoring standard processes. But not all of the tailoring guidelines can be crisply defined. Besides, individual projects need plenty experience to choose proper adjustments. In this regard, this paper builds an adjust structure ,which applying fuzzy theory to divide the tailoring factors into fuzzification part and im-fuzzification part, and proposes a rule- based fuzzy expert system to assist software projects in process tailoring. It proves that the system can assist software organizations in adjusting the software development flow reasonable .And it advances both the development efficiency and success probability of the projects.
