Abstract :
The project of developing software is a comprehensive multiple objective system. In view of the characteristic of software project development process, this article uses the three basic factors-cost, schedule and quality of the software project development as the multi-attribute variable, establishes an integrated optimization model of software project development process based on fuzzy multi-attribute theory. For the tradeoff optimization problem of these three basic factors, the model presents a dynamic multi-objective optimization solution. Using the genetic algorithm we can obtain the most satisfied results. Finally we give an example to verify the model´s feasibility and effectiveness. The efficiency of the model is quite high, and the results accord with the practice.
