چکیده

During the last couple of decades, CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) tools have played a critical role in improvement of software productivity and quality by assisting tasks in software development processes. Many initiatives in the field were pursued in the 1980’s and 1990’s to provide more effective CASE technologies and development environments. Even though the CASE field is no longer active research area, most software development teams use a huge range of CASE tools that are typically assembled over some period with the hope of productivity and quality improvements throughout the software development process. The variety and proliferation of tools in the current CASE market makes it difficult to understand what kinds of tasks are supported and how much effort can be reduced by using CASE tools. In this paper, we provide a classification of CASE tools by activity coverage in a software development lifecycle. We also report a experimental result of Bayesian analysis on CASE tool effects with a extended set of tool rating scales from COCOMO (COnstructive COst MOdel) II with which CASE tools are effectively evaluated. Index Terms CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering), Software Cost Estimation, COCOMO (COnstructive COst MOdel) II,

A New Empirical Model to Increase the Accuracy of Software Cost Estimation (TECHNICAL NOTE)

We can say a software project is successful when it is delivered on time, within the budget and maintaining the required quality. However, nowadays software cost estimation is a critical issue for the advance software industry. As the modern software’s behaves dynamically so estimation of the effort and cost is significantly difficult. Since last 30 years, more than 20 models are already develo...

Empirical Evaluation of Different Machine Learning Methods for Software Services Development Effort Estimation Through Correlation Analysis

The concept of development effort generally means the time or the cost of developing a software service. An essential factor to successfully manage and control a project is the accurate estimation of the development effort and an over and underestimation lead to the loss of project resources. So far, different effort estimation models have been presented in three domains: expert judgment, algor...
