Abstract

In agile software development, product backlog items (PBI) are used to capture the user requirements prior to the product implementation. Many types of requirements can be observed within a software project. Proper classification of PBI can positively impact the software development process. PBI can be classified into three categories: user stories, foundational stories, and spikes. After the extreme literature survey, no research was held on classifying the PBI into the categories mentioned above. This paper proposed a machine learning (ML) based approach to classify the PBI into three categories. 4,721 PBI were collected from different software projects and manually labelled into the three classes mentioned above. Then the PBI were cleaned using different pre-processing techniques. Classification models were constructed using ML techniques. The performance of each ML model was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. Support vector machine (SVM) outperformed other ML models by providing 88% accuracy.
