Towards a Fuzzy Model for RAMSET: Role Assignment Methodology for Software Engineering Teams

  • Chapter
Book cover Soft Computing for Intelligent Control and Mobile Robotics

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 318))

Abstract

Current studies related to performance and integration of Software Engineering teams, focus on efficiency boarding different factors such as team abilities, management, tools, methodologies, personality and roles. The present work is a follow up of RAMSET (Role Assignment Methodology for Software Engineering Teams) methodology that relates personality, abilities and software roles for integration of Software Engineering Teams, applying sociometric and psychometric techniques under a Fuzzy Approach due measurements’ subjective appreciation. A Fuzzy Model System is proposed to identify the best Role to be performed by a Software Engineer in Software Development Project Teams.
