Evaluate Database Management System Quality By Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) Methodolog

Abstract

Any organization that intends to use component-based software development, like outsourcing software, must first evaluate existing components against system requirements to find the best fit among many alternatives. As a result, there should be a mechanism to help with decision-making. Our proposed methodology tries to select the best alternative among available components, using the best decision-making approach. As an integrated method for order preference, the methodology in this paper uses two well-known criterion decision-making procedures, namely Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). By analyzing and selecting the optimal solution among a variety of Out Sourcing (OS) modules, the new model design makes the decision-making process easier. We evaluated two software attributes and predicted which was more effective. In this case, the advantage of utilizing AHP is that it allows the developer to evaluate the structure of the OS selection problem and calculate weights for the chosen criteria. After that, the SAW technique is used to calculate the alternatives ratings for OS components. The integration strategy used in our model and the resulting preference indication, which is produced as an explicit numeric value.
