A Duly Diligent Response to the Concerns of Muslim Stakeholders

by Zulfiqar Ahmad, PhD 2011.

Abstract. We develop the Quranic Rational Unified Process (QuRUP) by customising the Rational Unified Process (RUP). The QuRUP is developed to provide a duly diligent response to the Quranic concerns of Muslim system stakeholders. For a duly diligent response to the concerns of Muslim system stakeholders, software requirements must be harmonised with the Quran.

We demonstrate an application of the QuRUP by analysing Pakistan's Identity Management System (PIdM). By analysing the PIdM, we indicate applications of the QuRUP for harmonising a software system with the Quran. We focus our analysis on elicitation of Quranic privacy requirements in the PIdM. We find that the QuRUP can elicit important Quranic requirements which may be overlooked when the unmodified RUP is applied.
