Fast&&Serious: a UML based metric for effort estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a new method to estimate the size of a software project developed following the object-oriented paradigm. The method is designed to work with a set of UML diagrams describing the most important system features. We calculate the complexity of a system in terms of source lines of code. Outstanding features of our method are its flexibility (allowing estimation of projects described with few diagrams) and the capability to completely automate the entire counting process extracting information about UML diagrams from Rational Rose 98 or 2000 petal files. Keyword: Object Oriented, size estimation, UML, Rational Rose

An Effort Estimation by UML Points in Early Stage of Software Development
UML-based object-oriented metrics are fully capable of software measurement. Many researchers have produced effort estimation models for software systems. The estimation effort in the early stages of software development is one of the most important problems faced by software developers and managers. UML related information can be used as an accurate source for effort estimation. In this paper,...
متن کاملCalculation of Leakage in Water Supply Network Based on Blind Source Separation Theory
The economic and environmental losses due to serious leakage in the urban water supply network have increased the effort to control the water leakage. However, current methods for leakage estimation are inaccurate leading to the development of ineffective leakage controls. Therefore, this study proposes a method based on the blind source separation theory (BSS) to calculate the leakage of water...
