Abstract:
Web and Distributed software development is vulnerable to risks, which may apply to any of three perspectives: Project, Process and Product. However, existing software risk management approaches are mainly concentrating on the Project and only very few of them have touched the Process perspective. Our WeDRisk approach has, as one of its main objectives, coverage of Web and Distributed risks from all three perspectives. The work presented in this paper is a result of an experiment to evaluate some aspects of WeDRisk. This paper is mainly focused on the evaluation of a clustering of the risks from the three perspectives, and the criteria used for the clustering. The result of the experiment illustrated the importance and usefulness of clustering and considering of the risks from the three perspectives as a way of reducing the effort and time in managing the risks and then increasing the efficiency of risk management in web and distributed developments.
