Abstract

This research is devoted to implementation of the ontology-based intelligent agent (OBIA) for the determination of the sufficiency of metric information in the software requirements. The method of actions of such an OBIA is developed. The intelligent agent, who works on the basis of the developed method, determines the sufficiency of metric information in the software requirements, performs a numerical assessment of the sufficiency level of metric information, and offers a visual list of missing indicators necessary for the calculation of metrics. Functioning of the realized agent allows increasing the sufficiency level of metric information in the software requirements. The developed intelligent agent allows to partially eliminate the person from the processes of processing the information, to avoid the losses of important information and to increase the amount of metric information at the phase of requirements gathering, which in the complex provides increasing the software quality. During the experiments, the intelligent agent investigated the requirements for software of the system of improving the safety of computer systems’ software, which resulted in the sufficiency of metric information in requirements increased by 44%.
