Abstract
- During the process of software development, a significant challenge revolves around accurately estimating the associated costs. The primary goal of project managers is to ensure the delivery of a highly trustworthiness product that aligns with the designated budgetary constraints. Nonetheless, the trustworthiness of software hinges upon a range of distinct attributes. When implementing a budget allocation scheme to enhance these attributes, conflicts among them may arise. Thus, it becomes imperative to select an appropriate allocation scheme that effectively mitigates conflict-associated costs. In this paper, we will define the conflict costs and establish costs estimation models. The difficulty coefficient constraint for improving attributes is established. Subsequently, we will analyze the relative importance weights of these attributes. Drawing upon the conflict costs, importance weights, and difficulty coefficient constraint, we present an algorithm to determine an appropriate budget allocation scheme, which can minimize conflict-associated costs. Finally, we provide an illustrative example that demonstrates the practicability of our proposed algorithm. This research offers valuable insights to software managers, aiding them in the reasonable allocation of budgetary resources, thereby maximizing overall benefits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
