Abstract: In software projects, requirements engineering is considered one of the most important phases of the system development life cycle. Since these requirements primarily depend on stakeholders’ needs and constraints, requirements prioritization aims to determine the order in which requirements should be implemented. In this paper, we leverage the chi-square test, a statistical test of independence, to assess the dependency between variables, and we apply chi-square scores in the ranking process to assign a targeted weight to each requirement. The most important contributions are the novel statistical prioritization framework, which can be used to objectively weight the features of the requirement with a chi-square analysis, and the reduction of the subjectivity inherent in traditional methods that are stakeholder-dependent.
