Significance of Software Layered Technology on Size of Projects

Abstract

The objective of the software engineering is committed to build software projects within the budget, time and required quality. Software engineering is a layered paradigm comprised of process, methods, tools and quality focus as bedrock to develop the product. Software firms build software projects of varying sizes constrained on resources, time and functional requirement. Impact of software engineering layered technology may vary according to the size of the projects during their development. Quantitative evaluation of layer significance on size of the software project could be categorized as a complex task because it involves a collective decision on multiple criteria. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) provides an effective quantitative approach for finding the significance of software layered technology on size of the projects. This paper presents the estimations through quantitative approach on real time data collected from several software firms. These findings help for a better project management with respect to the cost, time and resources during building a software project.
