Factor Analysis of Robust Secure Software Development Model

Ayoade Oluwafisayo Babatope | Adetunmbi Adebayo Olusola

Abstract: Software development has advanced to a stage where quality attributes of software and information security are playing increasingly important role. The introduction of electronic commerce, mobile commerce and banking related applications have resulted to a whole new set of requirements for information systems. Besides reliability, performance and other quality attributes, the level of system security is starting to play a major role when customers or end users are making their buying decisions. There are also some clear signs that product liability laws may start taking security aspects in to consideration. In the light of this there is an obvious need for a special consideration of system security when designing software products for high security applications. In this paper, we perform factor analysis using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the characteristics of five software development models and classify them based on key requirements for a software development project using responses from selected software developers. The objective is to help project managers and software developers select an appropriate software development model that is most suitable to the requirements of their software projects.
