Abstract

In Requirement Engineering, software requirements are classified into two main categories: Functional Requirement (FR) and Non-Functional Requirement (NFR). FR describes user and system goals. NFR includes all constraints on services and functions. Deeper classification of those two categories facilitates the software development process. There are many techniques for classifying FR; some of them are Machine Learning (ML) techniques, and others are traditional. To date, the classification accuracy has not been satisfactory. In this paper, we introduce a new ensemble ML technique for classifying FR statements to improve their accuracy and availability. This technique combines different ML models and uses enhanced accuracy as a weight in the weighted ensemble voting approach. The five combined models are Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, and Support Vector Classification (SVC). The technique was implemented, trained, and tested using a collected dataset. The accuracy of classifying FR was 99.45%, and the required time was 0.7 s.
