Abstract
In the process of software development, the allocation of resources is a very challenging task so as to minimize cost and at the same time, to deliver software to the client on time. Apart from cost and time concerns, quality characteristics of software also need to be taken into consideration to determine the distribution of available resources among various modules in an application. In the present study, one of the multi-criteria decision making technique (MCDM), Fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) is used for pair-wise comparison of criteria and sub-criteria of quality attributes. It is further used for ranking various modules based on conflicting nature of criteria in order to allocate the resources in an efficient way. Later, a numerical is presented to show how the fixed amount of resources is allocated to various modules in a software application in proportion to weights as obtained using Fuzzy AHP.
