Control Model of Software Engineering Risk Based on Hidden Markov Model

Abstract:

Software engineering risk is an important issue in software engineering research and the formation and measuring of software risk is also a difficulty. Since the risk transmission effect is not considered in traditional software projects, based on risk element transmission theory and hidden Markov model, a new model called Hidden Risk Markov Model was proposed. The model takes into account the effect of software engineering risk transmission in different prototype stages on final software engineering risk and uses the observable risk element transmission to calculate the degree of engineering risk. Finally, an example of software engineering risk control was presented.
