Abstract

This paper aims to understand the real contribution of end-users of a virtual reality software to the requirements prioritization step of the software process and to study how this contribution could influence design decisions. In our empirical study, we analyzed the lists of functionalities prioritized on a questionnaire basis and the functionalities evoked spontaneously by users, in the context of the design of a new software. Results show that several priority levels can be associated with a same functionality within a single user profile and that priority levels associated with the same functionality may be common or specific to user profiles. Results also highlight that the additional functionalities proposed by participants are new features or precisions. In conclusion, we present our research perspective which aims to understand how the participants perform the prioritization task.
