Background: The relation between software effort and size has been modeled in literature as exponential, in the sense that the natural logarithm of effort is expressed as a linear...
To construct a better multivariate regression model for software effort estimation, this paper proposes a method to select projects as a fit data from a given project data set bas...
This paper summarizes estimation knowledge through a review of surveys on software effort estimation. Main findings were that: (1) Most projects (60-80%) encounter effort and/or s...
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...
Software effort estimation techniques abound, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and no one proves to be the single best answer. Combining estimating is an app...
