ABSTRACT

This paper presents the result of software requirements practices survey among software practitioners, a study in a city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. As software requirements are important and they lead to the successful of a software development project, it becomes interesting to investigate the current software requirements practices in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As an initial work, a survey was conducted in Jeddah as a study before we conduct it in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia software industry. The survey is conducted by distributing a set of questionnaire to the software practitioners. There are 17 respondents completed the questionnaire out of 50 distributed questionnaire, which is 34% of response rate. The result of this survey is promising and it has shown that requirements management area should be focused for future improvement. In the future, the survey will focus on software engineering and requirements engineering practices over the entire Kingdom of Saudi Arabia software industry.

Paper Title: Generic Modelling Using Uml Extensions for Queens Challenge Puzzle Game From 1 to 25 Levels System Authors: Hussain Mohammad Abu-Dalbouh, Ghadeer AlJibreen and Nehal AlDowighri, Qassim University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Abstract: The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a language for the specification, visualization, and documentation of object-oriented software systems. Existing UML diagrams can be used to conveniently model behavior, but these diagrams can be hardly used to model games. However, UML cannot describe in an explicit manner the games requirements needed for modeling Queens Challenge Game. In this study, the modeling of queens challenge puzzle from 1 to 25 levels is discussed, the proposed extension to UML covering the use case diagram, sequence diagram, activity diagram and class diagram aspects of proposed at the various views and diagrams of the UML. The use of queens challenge game is illustrated using a queens challenge puzzle from 1 to 25 levels example...
