Present an Initial Estimation Method for Logical Transaction-based Software Projects

Authors

Abstract:

The first and most basic requirement for successful entry of a project, is have a realistic and reasonable estimation. In this paper, in order to increase accuracy of software projects estimation and reduce complexity of estimation process, we introduce a method called the "Logical Transaction Point (LTP)". Our method is most appropriate for transactional software. By use of this method can estimate the total size of use-case's and size of the whole software. In this paper we will prove the more accurate the same technique as UCP method and Due to more transparency and simplicity, its deployment is easier. We provide the main basis for this method, the degree of functional point analysis (FPA) and estimation the degree of use case point (UCP).

A Model-Driven Decision Support System for Software Cost Estimation (Case Study: Projects in NASA60 Dataset)

Estimating the costs of software development is one of the most important activities in software project management. Inaccuracies in such estimates may cause irreparable loss. A low estimate of the cost of projects will result in failure on delivery on time and indicates the inefficiency of the software development team. On the other hand, high estimates of resources and costs for a project wil...

Building an Effort Estimation Model for Software Projects

This paper discusses a model for effort estimation. This model focuses on minimizing effort variance by enhancing the adjustments made to the functional sizing techniques. A special focus is made on the adjustment factors which reflect the application’s complexity and actual environment in which this application will be implemented. We introduce the idea of grouping the adjustment factors to si...

Toward an effort estimation model for software projects integrating risk

According to a study of The Standish Group International, 44% of software projects cost more and last longer than expected. More accurate the effort estimation is; the better the enterprise gets organized and the more the software project respects the commitments on budget, time and quality. Enhancing the accuracy of effort estimation remains an ongoing challenge to software professionals. Seve...

A Novel ICA-based Estimator for Software Cost Estimation

One of the most important and valuable goal of software development life cycle is software cost estimation or SCE. During the recent years, SCE has attracted the attention of researchers due to huge amount of software project requests. There have been proposed so many models using heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms to do machine learning process for SCE. COCOMO81 is one of the most popular...
