Abstract

The technology part of business software applications
development, represented by a variety of software tools, has improved
significantly in recent years. This necessitates utilizing advanced selection
techniques to reduce the chance of failure associated with acquiring a new
tool. This paper presents a multi-criterion fuzzy approach capable of
integrating evaluation results obtained from a number of experts to select an
appropriate software tool. The proposed approach combines and extends the
attractive features of both the analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy set theory.
The approach is demonstrated by solving an application of software tool
selection
