The project management process has been used in the area of Software Engineering to support managers keep projects under control. One essential processes is conduct an accurate and reliable estimation required effort complete project. This article’s objectives are: i) identify variables that influence based on correlation, ii) apply Extreme Learning Machine - ELM model for compare it with liter...

Testing of software or software-based systems and services is considered as one of the most effort-consuming activities in the lifecycle. This applies especially to those domains where highly iterative development and continuous integration cannot be applied. Several approaches have been proposed to use measurement as a means to improve test effectiveness and efficiency. Most of them rely on us...

: The main aim of the proposed system is to assist the software development team to estimate the cost, effort and maintenance of the project under development. Android-based platform, namely MIT App Inventor is used for the development of application, which contains visual block programming language. The current study has following uniqueness of (1)Accuracy of results,(2)user friendly environme...

Software projects often do not meet their scheduling and budgeting targets. Inaccurate estimates are often responsible for this mismatch. This study investigates extant research on factors that affect accuracy of software development effort estimation. The purpose is to synthesize existing knowledge, propose directions for future research, and improve estimation accuracy in practice. A systemat...

The achievement of accurate software cost estimation based only on a few factors is a long-standing goal in software engineering. Work in this area is exemplified by a number of algorithmic approaches that have been proposed over the years. COCOMO is one of the most frequently quoted of such approaches. Evidence emerging from observational and simulation studies suggest that feedback mechanisms...
