Use Case Point Method of Software Effort Estimation: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software project management is one of the critical activities in software development process. Many software development projects fail due to poor management of projects. The main aim of software project management team is to count what is countable, measure what is measurable and prepare measurable parameters for continuously monitor and manage a software development project. One of the very important factors in proper management of a software project is software estimation. At present most of software projects developed are using object oriented technology for the development of software projects. Researchers across the globe have used object oriented technology based method known as use case point method for estimating efforts for a software project development. This research work is an effort to review different invariants of use case point method of effort estimation. The research work also highlights the importance of continuously refining the UCP method in order to reduce the gap between the estimated and actual efforts.

متن کاملRevised Use Case Point Method - Effort Estimation in Development Projects for Business Applications
Rapid and precise effort estimation of software development projects is crucial in IT industry. In a case study, the Use Case Point (UCP) method was applied to 15 commercial software development projects. The estimated efforts were compared with the incurred project efforts. We measured a standard deviation of 42 %. This is not acceptable for industrial usage. Therefore, we propose appropriate ...
