Changing customer needs and technology are driving factors influencing project evolution. Consequently, there is a need to assess the impact of these changes on existing software systems. For safety-critical system, the changes can even introduce hazards to bug down the system, particularly for larger systems, it quickly become difficult to comprehend what impact of requirement change might have on the overall system or parts of the system. Impact analysis is identifying the potential impact of disruption caused by a change to one or more components in the requirement on other components. The significant behind impact analysis is to identify requirement elements that may be affected by the change. However, this paper deals with impact analysis approach during project changes and identifies issues of impact analysis and where change impact analysis applied during software development projects. © 2012 IEEE. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84864795526&doi=10.1109%2fICIMTR.2012.6236428&partnerID=40&md5=2f32386aaa239f079c44408a7b378c63 id_number: 10.1109/ICIMTR.2012.6236428 full_text_status: none publication: ICIMTR 2012 - 2012 International Conference on Innovation, Management and Technology Research place_of_pub: Malacca pagerange: 407-411 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781467306553 citation: Ali, H.O. and Rozan, M.Z.A. and Sharif, A.M.
