摘要：

Requirements volatility is a common project risk which has severe consequences on software projects. Though its impact on various aspects of software projects has been highlighted extensively, its influence on project plans is not well explored yet. This paper proposes a simulation approach RVSim (Requirements Volatility Simulation) which utilizes requirements traceability and dependency information to predict,the impact of requirements volatility on software project plans. RVSim can help analyze the effects of requirements volatility in depth, and provide useful information for users to make better decisions. Moreover, RVSim supports customization for users' own software processes and projects. We also provide a case study to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of RVSim.
