A Review Study:Automated Risk Identification Tool for Software Development Process

Risk Identification tools are usually established for avoiding or minimizing problems, likely to occur during software development. It can be stated as the task of analysing and managing the impact of every important risk occurred in the project. In the context of Risk Identification tool practices, we developed a scoping study, aiming at analysing the current scenario of Risk Identification practices in software development process. We analysed different studies published by the most important venues published up to the year 2013. Based on the analysed data set, we sketched a set of useful techniques and tools for applying Risk Identification in software projects. The analysis indicates that most of the studies subjectively describe ways to evaluate risks, instead of providing readers with details on how Risk Identification is to be performed. Such findings points out to the need of further research in the field of Risk Management, especially for the identification of risks in software development process for better results.
