Software Cost Estimation using Soft Computing Approaches
نویسنده
چکیده
Software development has become an important activity for many modern organizations (Pressman, 1997). In fact the quality, cost, and timeliness of developed software are often crucial determinants of an organization’s success. There are significant financial and strategic implications for development projects in terms of activity scheduling and cost estimation. Software cost estimation is one of the most AbSTRACT

A Proposed Framework for Software Effort Estimation Using the Combinational Approach of Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks
Software effort and cost estimation has turned out to be the major challenge in IT industries. In this paper, different software effort and cost estimation techniques like algorithmic methods, expert judgment, analogy based estimation and soft computing methods and their various aspects are discussed. Software effort estimation is followed by cost assessment that is useful for both customers an...
متن کاملEstimating scour below inverted siphon structures using stochastic and soft computing approaches
This paper uses nonlinear regression, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Genetic Programming (GP) approaches for predicting an important tangible issue i.e. scours dimensions downstream of inverted siphon structures. Dimensional analysis and nonlinear regression-based equations was proposed for estimation of maximum scour depth, location of the scour hole, location and height of the dune downs...
متن کاملEnhancing Use Case Points Estimation Method Using Soft Computing Techniques
Software estimation is a crucial task in software engineering. Software estimation encompasses cost, effort, schedule, and size. The importance of software estimation becomes critical in the early stages of the software life cycle when the details of software have not been revealed yet. Several commercial and non-commercial tools exist to estimate software in the early stages. Most software eff...
متن کاملSoftware Effort Estimation Models Using Radial Basis Function Network
Software Effort Estimation is the process of estimating the effort required to develop software. By estimating the effort, the cost and schedule required to estimate the software can be determined. Accurate Estimate helps the developer to allocate the resource accordingly in order to avoid cost overrun and schedule overrun. Several methods are available in order to estimate the effort among whi...
متن کاملSoftware Effort Estimation Based on Use Case Point (Fuzzy Logic)
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 t...
