Abstract

Software development (ASD) has become one of the most important ways of developing software in the 21st century. Neighboring large multinationals have turned to ASDs in search of a larger market and cheaper cuts for fascinating decentralized software development (DASD). Activities can be set up in a hazardous zone environment, and defining incorrect activities can result in customers being driven away from the project at the expense of team members. And other project failures, a big deal. Many researchers have worked over the past decades on various allocation mechanisms in a distributed environment. These task allocation mechanisms, as they are manual in nature, cause many problems. These set of problems can be reduced, if an automated or semi – automated mechanism is applied for task allocation and other activities like – backlog prioritization and regression testing. In this chapter, a unsupervised learning based model has been presented for assisting in project development activities like – task allocation and backlog prioritization.
