Using CBR to Estimate Development Effort for Web Hypermedia Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Good estimates of development effort play an important role in the successful management of larger software development projects. This paper compares the prediction accuracy of three CBR techniques to estimate the effort to develop Web hypermedia applications. Most comparative studies have used one CBR technique. We believe this may bias the results, as there are several CBR techniques that may also be used for effort prediction. This paper shows that a weighted Euclidian similarity measure was the most accurate of the CBR techniques tested.

A Comparison of Case-Based Reasoning Approaches to Web Hypermedia Project Cost Estimation
Over the years software engineering researchers have suggested numerous techniques for estimating development effort. These techniques have been classified mainly as algorithmic, machine learning and expert judgement. Several studies have compared the prediction accuracy of those techniques, with emphasis placed on linear regression, stepwise regression, and Case-based Reasoning (CBR). To date ...

Several studies have compared the prediction accuracy of different types of techniques with emphasis placed on linear and stepwise regressions, and Case-based Reasoning (CBR). We believe the use of only one type of CBR technique may bias the results, as there are others that may also be used for effort prediction. This paper has two objectives. The first is to compare the prediction accuracy of...

To date studies using CBR for Web hypermedia effort prediction have not applied adaptation rules to adjust effort according to a given criterion. In addition, when applying n-fold cross-validation, their analysis has been limited to a maximum of three training sets, which according to recent studies, may lead to untrustworthy results. This paper has therefore two objectives. The first is to fur...

Research into Web cost estimation is relatively new where few studies have compared cost estimation modelling techniques for Web development, with an emphasis placed on techniques such as Case-based Reasoning (CBR), linear and stepwise regression. Although in a large subset of these studies CBR has given the best predictions, results were based on a simple type of CBR, where no adaptation rules...
