The Most Common Success Factors in Cost Estimation – a Review
نویسنده
چکیده
Cost estimation process becomes a crucial factor in any software development project. An effective software estimate provides the information needed to design a workable software development plan. An effective software estimate provides important information for making project decisions, projecting performance and defining objectives and plans. Without the proper guidance in a project, the results could be disastrous. It begins by covering the fundamental problems of unreasonable software estimation: not planning up front; failure to use viable estimates as the bases of an achievable project plan, not updating the plan and estimates when a project changes, and failing to consider the uncertainties inherent in estimates. This paper proposes the success factors that bring to the effectiveness of cost estimation in software development project.

A New Optimized Hybrid Model Based On COCOMO to Increase the Accuracy of Software Cost Estimation
The literature review shows software development projects often neither meet time deadlines, nor run within the allocated budgets. One common reason can be the inaccurate cost estimation process, although several approaches have been proposed in this field. Recent research studies suggest that in order to increase the accuracy of this process, estimation models have to be revised. The Construct...
متن کاملCritical Success Factors for Data Virtualization: A Literature Review
Data Virtualization (DV) has become an important method to store and handle data cost-efficiently. However, it is unclear what kind of data and when data should be virtualized or not. We applied a design science approach in the first stage to get a state of the art of DV regarding data integration and to present a concept matrix. We extend the knowledge base with a systematic literature review ...
