Analysing the Risk Factors In Human Resource Allocation for Secure Software Development

Abstract

ABSTRACT newlineRisk analysis and management are a series of steps that help a software team newlineto understand and manage uncertainty. Many problems can plague a software project. newlineA risk is a potential problem- it might happen, it might not but, regardless of the newlineoutcome, it is a really good idea to identify it, assess its probability of occurrence, newlineestimate its impact, and establish a contingency plan should the problem actually newlineoccur. Software is a difficult undertaking. Lots of things can go wrong, and frankly, newlinemany often do. It s for this reason that being prepared understanding the risks and newlineproactive measures to avoid or manage them-is a key element of good software newlineproject management. Recognizing what can go wrong is the first step called risk newlineidentification Next each risk is analyzed to determine the likelihood that it will occur newlineand the damage that it will do if it does occur. Once this information is established, newlinerisks are ranked ,by probability and impact . Finally, a plan is developed to manage newlinethose risks with high probability and high impact. newlineThere are many risks involved in creating high quality software on time and newlinewithin budget. However, in order for it to be worthwhile to take these risks, they must newlinebe compensated for by a perceived reward. The greater the risk , the greater the newlinereward must be to make it worthwhile to take the chance. In software development newline,the possibility of reward is high, but so is the potential for disaster. Gilb s risk newlineprinciple in software risk management states that If you don t actively attack the newlinerisks, they will actively attack you . Since human being are exposed to risk in all newlinewalks of life particularly in the field of software project management. It is necessary newlineto manage a software project in a successful way. In order to achieve this we must newlinelearn to identify, analyze, and control these risks. newlineThe main objectives of the research is to understand the various risks attached newlineto time factors, cost factors, software factors, hardware factors, place factors and newlinehuman factors
