Abstract
Identifying user requirements efficiently and reflecting them on the existing system is very important in a rapidly changing web and mobile environments. This study proposes the strategies to refining requirements and to prioritizing those refined requirements for changing of web and mobile application based on user requirements (e.g. mobile application comments, Q&A, reported information as discomfort factors). In order to refining the user requirements, those requirements are grouped by using the advancement of the software business of the Forum of standardization and the existing configuration-based programs. Then, we mapped them onto the PIECES framework to identifying whether the refined requirements are correctly reflected to the system in a way of valid and pure. To determine the priority of refined requirements, first, relative weights are given to software structure, requirements and categories of PIECES. Second, integration points on each requirement are counted to obtain the relative value of partial and overall score of a set of software structural requirements. In order to verifying the possibility and proving the effectiveness of proposing technique in this study, survey was conducted on changing requirements of mobile application which have been serviced at S University by targeting 15 people of work-related stakeholders.
