  • This research work is based on the classification of the functions which are required and which is not required for the efficient development of the software. The motivation of this work is to identify non required functions to reduce development cost and efforts. The classification is the technique which can classify data into certain number of classes. The NFR matrix is the existing technique which can classify the Null functions. To classify the null functions NFR use clustering method which can modify to increase accuracy of classification. In the existing method NFR matrix is used for the null function classification, it use the clustering for the classification. In this work, decision tree will based with the clustering. It take input result of clustering and generate classified result.
