Estimating the effort required for software process activities continues to present difficulties for software engineers, particularly given the uncertainty and subjectivity associ...
Intermediate COCOMO Model computes effort as a function of program size and a set of cost drivers. Effort adjustment factor (EAF) is calculated using 15 cost drivers. EAF is an imp...
An estimation of change-proneness of parts of a software system is an active topic in the area of software engineering. Such estimates can be used to predict changes to different c...
Use case models are used in object-oriented analysis for capturing and describing the functional requirements of a system. Several methods for estimating software development effor...
Effort distribution by phase or activity is an important but often overlooked aspect compared to other steps in the cost estimation process. Poor effort allocation is among the ma...
