Abstract

Software design process is one of the crit-ical processes in software development life cycle since it delivers a software de-sign specification basically used for im-plementation in order to deliver software meets user expectation. There are many tasks required different skills of design team members. Due to the different backgrounds, experiences and preferences of software designers, cognitive bias may arise that leads tothe increase of software damage. In this paper, we want to explore whether there is a correlation between any cognitive bias types occur from human working process and software damage rate. From our experiment, we discover that there is a statistically significantcorrelation between the two types of cognitive bias; confirmation bias and adjustment bias in design process and software damage rate.
