Vinay S, Shridhar Aithal, Sudhakara G . Integrating TOPSIS and AHP into GORE Decision Support System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 56, 17 ( October 2012), 46-53. DOI=10.5120/8987-3216
Decision making in Software Engineering plays an important role at different stages of Software development life cycle. In this paper we consider the case study of selecting one among the three Content Management Systems (CMS) for a university website. We use our Goal-Oriented Requirements Engineering (GORE) method to identify the soft goals which play a vital role in deciding which CMS is chosen. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is then used to prioritize the soft goals. The output of AHP is used as input to Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) which produces a metric which decides the best alternative among the candidates.
