While there are many studies conducted on software risk during the last two decades, very few have been published on software risk management practice in IT industry. In this paper we explore industry practice in the management of software development risks in outsourced software migration projects. We take the vendor perspective, post contract finalization. We conducted an online survey of 145 software projects executed by global IT vendors with process maturity of CMM Level 5. Based on this we built a statistical model relating software risk management factors with project outcome. An embedded case study of a large software migration project executed for a fortune 500 company was undertaken to check whether the model agrees with actual industry practice. The best practices and experiences from the project are also shared.

Software Risk

Software risk management is one the key factors in software project management with the goal to improve quality as avoid vulnerabilities. The term defect refers to an imperfection that may arise because of reasons including programmers' skills, lack of suitable testing strategies, and many others. When actual results are different from expected result or meeting wrong requirement, it is called defect and it forms the basis of risk escalation in a software project which is obviously not accepted in any type of deployment. Making a reliable software should be risk free from any vulnerability. Along with reliability another issue arises is software quality which is a factor with software risk management. The quality of software is to reduce the occurrence of risks and defects with the objective to produce an effectual value software which is key point of consideration. In this article, is underlined the present assorted risk management strategies proposed and projected by a number of researchers and academicians on the different parameters using benchmark datasets from renowned sources of research.

Architecture And Design

The process of software evaluation is one of the key tasks that are addressed by the quality assurance teams so that the risks in the software suite can be identified and can be removed with prior notifications. Different types of metrics can be used in defect prediction models, and widely used metrics are source code and process metrics. A simulated environment for the entire process shall be generated for multiple scenarios and parameters so that the results and conclusion can be depicted in an effective way. The focus of research is to develop a narrative architecture and design for software risk management using soft computing and nature-inspired approach. The proposed approach titled simulated biological reaction (SBR) is expected to have the effectual results on multiple parameters with the flavor of soft computing-based optimization. The proposed approach shall be integrating the simulation of microbiological process in different substances and elements to produce a new substance.
