During the software development process, the decisionmaker (DM)must master many variables inherent in this process. Software\nreleases represent the order in which a set of requirements is implemented and delivered to the customer. Structuring and\nenumerating a set of releases with prioritized requirements represents a challenging task because the requirements contain their\ncharacteristics, such as technical precedence, the cost required for implementation, the importance that one or more customers add\nto the requirement, among other factors. To facilitate this work of selection and prioritization of releases, the decision maker may\nadopt some support tools. One field of study already known to solve this type of problemis the Search-Based Software Engineering\n(SBSE) that uses metaheuristics as a means to find reasonable solutions taking into account a set of well-defined objectives and\nconstraints. In this paper, we seek to increase the possibilities of solving the Next Release Problem using the methods available in\nVerbal Decision Analysis (VDA). We generate a problem and submit it so that the VDA and SBSE methods try to resolve it. To\nvalidate this research, we compared the results obtained through VDA and compared with the SBSE results.We present and discuss\nthe results in the respective sections.
