Quantitative Analysis of Requirement Elicitation Techniques through FANP: Security Perspective

The last few decades have shown an incredible rise in the production of different types of software according to the user’s needs. Requirement Elicitation techniques for security requirements are one of the most crucial stage of software development life cycle. Based on the Analytical Network Process (ANP) process, this paper analyzes the weighting of elicitation techniques for security requirements in the production of software applications. In other words, the elicitation strategies of security requirements play an important role in the development of secure software. It also analyzes the relationship between security requirement elicitation techniques and their objectives through the use of ANP method and also demonstrates the application of fuzzy ANP method to achieve higher accuracy. When developing a secure software framework, the results provide a better platform. With these facts in mind, the proposed study will also clarify the priority weights of security requirement elicitation techniques that can be used to analyze trade-offs between competing software security requirement elicitation techniques and provide a new way for developers when constructing the secure software.
