A Survey on Software Estimation Techniques in Traditional and Agile Development Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software projects mostly exceeds budget, delivered late and does not meet with the customer’s satisfaction for years. In the past, many traditional development models like waterfall, spiral, iterative, and prototyping methods are used to build the software systems. In recent years, agile models are widely used in developing the software products. The major reasons are – simplicity, incorporating the requirement changes at any time, light-weight approach and delivering the working product early and in short duration. Whatever the development model used, it still remains a challenge for software engineer’s to accurately estimate the size, effort and the time required for developing the software system. This survey focuses on the existing estimation models used in traditional as well in agile software development.

Story Point Approach based Agile Software Effort Estimation using Various SVR Kernel Methods
Agile software development process represents a major departure from traditional, plan-based approaches to software engineering. Estimating effort of agile software accurately in early stage of software development life cycle is a major challenge in the software industry. For improving the estimation accuracy, various optimization techniques are used. The Support Vector Regression (SVR) is one ...
متن کاملCost estimation in agile development projects
One of the key measures of the resilience of a project is its ability to reach completion on time and on budget, regardless of the turbulent and uncertain environment it may operate within. Cost estimation and tracking are therefore paramount when developing a system. Cost estimation has long been a difficult task in systems development, and although much research has focused on traditional met...
متن کاملCost Estimation in Agile Software Development Projects
Numerous studies over the years have shown that information systems development (ISD) projects often run over budget or fail entirely. Such failures are not restricted to certain industry sectors or project types; rather they occur with some regularity in systems development projects and organizations of all types and sizes. Cost estimation has long been a difficult task in systems development,...

While software is so important for all facets of the modern world, software development itself is not a perfect process. Agile software engineering methods have recently emerged as a new and different way of developing software as compared to the traditional methodologies. However, their success has mostly been anecdotal, and research in this subject is still scant in the academic circles. This...
