A Novel ICA-based Estimator for Software Cost Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
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 models for SCE proposed by Barry Boehm in 1981. However COCOMO81 is an old estimation model, it has been widely used for the purpose of cost estimation in its new forms. In this paper, the Imperialism Competition Algorithm (ICA) has been employed to tune the COCOMO81 parameters. Experimental results show that in the separated COCOMO81 dataset, ICA can estimate the COCOMO81 model parameters such that the performance parameters are significantly improved. The proposed hybrid model is flexible enough to tune the parameters for any data sets in form of COCOMO81.

متن کاملA New Optimized Hybrid Model Based On COCOMO to Increase the Accuracy of Software Cost Estimation
The literature review shows software development projects often neither meet time deadlines, nor run within the allocated budgets. One common reason can be the inaccurate cost estimation process, although several approaches have been proposed in this field. Recent research studies suggest that in order to increase the accuracy of this process, estimation models have to be revised. The Construct...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملA three- stage algorithm for software cost and time estimation in fuzzy environment
In this paper an efficient three- stage algorithm is developed for software production cost and time estimation. First stage includes a hybrid model composed of COCOMO and Function Points methods to increase estimation accuracy. Second stage encompasses paired comparisons matrix of analytical hierarchy process to determine amount of any resources consumed in each step of software production by ...
متن کاملRepository Based Software Cost Estimation
One important problem with software development projects is to get an early and nevertheless accurate estimation of the software development costs. In the literature various methods have been developed for this purpose. The most popular examples are Boehm's COCOMO , Albrecht's function-point method or Sneed's object-point method . The two last-named methods are based on early results of the ana...
متن کاملA Ranking Stability Indicator for Selecting the Best Effort Estimator in Software Cost Estimation
Software effort estimation research shows that there is no universal agreement on the “best” effort estimation approach. This is largely due to the “ranking instability” problem, which is highly contingent on the evaluation criteria and the subset of the data used in the investigation. There are a large number of different method combination exists for software effort estimation, selecting the ...
