Challenges and future trends in software requirements prioritization

The right requirements are considered as a part and parcel of software quality. Since the emergence of software engineering the perfect requirements have a deeper effect on the overall quality of software systems. This research paper is focusing on the shortcomings or limitations of existing software requirements prioritization techniques and paves the way for researchers to explore new horizons in software requirements prioritization. Most of the techniques are solving the plight of small projects or toy applications. There is not a single evidence of a successful prioritization technique that would solve the problem of large set of requirements. The innovative requirements prioritization approaches are required for systems where user requirements increase in hundreds and even in thousands. The existing techniques are not providing sufficient automation for such systems due to their certain limitations.
