Software Effort Estimation Based on Use Case Point (Fuzzy Logic)

چکیده
Software cost estimation is a crucial part of the software project initiation process. Cost estimation plays an important role in the bidding/budgeting and help managers to use their resources at the maximum output level. Software Project failure rate is very high in case the project cost estimation is not done by taking all the important factors into the consideration. So finding the cost at the initial level is an important and challenging task and need great attention. Software cost estimation help in the risk analysis task and also avoids the underestimation/overestimation of the projects. It saves projects from late delivery or further cancelation. This paper discusses an improved method of finding cost, based on Use Case Point (UCP) and using the soft computing method called the fuzzy logic. Here it is also applied on a live project to show the estimation improvement. KeywordsCost Estimation; budgeting; Use Case Point (UCP); Fuzzy Logic; Soft Computing

Software cost estimation is a key open issue for the software industry, which suffers from cost overruns frequently. As the most popular technique for object-oriented software cost estimation is Use Case Points (UCP) method, however, it has two major drawbacks: the uncertainty of the cost factors and the abrupt classification. To address these two issues, refined the use case complexity classif...
