Current software development methods do not provide adequate means to model inconsistencies and therefore force software engineers to resolve inconsistencies whenever they are detected.

Abstract

Current software development methods do not provide adequate means to model inconsistencies and therefore force software engineers to resolve inconsistencies whenever they are detected. Certain kinds of inconsistencies, however, are desirable and should be maintained as long as possible. For instance, when multiple conflicting solutions exist for the same problem, each solution should be preserved to allow further refinements along the development process. An early resolution of inconsistencies may result in loss of information and excessive restriction of the design space. This paper aims to enhance the current methods by modeling and controlling the desired inconsistencies through the application of fuzzy logic-based techniques. It is shown that the proposed approach increases the adaptability and reusability of design models.
