Using Evolutionary Based Approaches to Estimate Software Development Effort
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several factors characterise the costs of the software development (such as general costs, hardware, human resources, etc.). Nevertheless, it is widely recognised that the main factor is the “effort”, meant as the amount of time spent to complete the project, expressed in terms of person-hours or man-months. So, the competitiveness of a software company heavily depends on the ability of its project managers to accurately predict in advance the effort required abSTraCT

An Improved COCOMO based Model to Estimate the Effort of Software Projects
One of important aspects of software projects is estimating the cost and time required to develop projects. Nowadays, this issue has become one of the key concerns of project managers. Accurate estimation of essential effort to produce and develop software is heavily effective on success or failure of software projects and it is highly regarded as a vital factor. Failure to achieve convincing a...

متن کاملInfluence of Project Duration constraint on efforts in Constructive Cost Model and optimizing the efforts to obtain accuracy
Software cost estimation accuracy is one of the biggest challenges in the field of software development for developer and customers. In general, many algorithmic models like Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) are used to estimate cost but they have inability to deal with uncertainties related to software development environment and other factors influencing the software development process. The E...
