Abstract
Requirements keep changing within an evolving business environment. In incremental software development, where functionalities are identified and delivered incrementally, a need is felt toward capturing and analyzing the impact of the changes in the system development process. This may require refactoring the order of the development of the system components based on newly added dependencies and conflicts among functional and non-functional requirements. In this paper, we propose a dynamic framework that re-prioritizes the requirements based on newly added (and updated) requirement dependencies and conflicts. We also provide an effective tool for our framework that supports software developers during incremental delivery within a changing business environment.
