Within the software development departments of ASELSAN, software products are developed by using different software development models and test activities are carried out progressively within the process. Considering the continuous improvement of test design activities in a specified process, test effort estimation has a significant role during the project planning. In this article, the method ...

One ofthe major difficulties in controlling software development project cost overruns and schedule delays has been developing practical and accurate software cost models. Software development could be modeled as an economic production process and we therefore propose a theoretical approach to software cost modeling. Specifically, we present the Minimum Software Cost Model (MSCM), derived from ...

Context: Software development effort estimation (SDEE) is the process of predicting the effort required to develop a software system. In order to improve estimation accuracy, many researchers have proposed machine learning (ML) based SDEE models (ML models) since 1990s. However, there has been no attempt to analyze the empirical evidence on ML models in a systematic way. Objective: This researc...

Software Effort Estimation has been researched for over 25 years but until today no real effective model could be designed that could efficiently gauge the effort required for heterogeneous project data. Reusability factors of software development have been used to design a new effort estimation model called REBEE. This encompasses the usage of Fuzzy Logic and Dynamic Neural Networks. The exper...

Effective management of any software process requires quantification measurement and modeling. Software metrics provide a quantitative basis for the development and validation of methods utilized in software cost estimation process and can also be used to improve the productivity and quality of the process. During initial stages of software cycle, it is imperative for the project managers to re...

Software cost and effort estimation is the most vulnerable issue in software development technology. Due continuous changing resources and customer involvements, software effort estimation has become more challenging issue in software management. To accurately estimate software cost and effort is difficult for both developers as well as customers. It has become very difficult to establish relat...

The most significant activity in software development is to develop projects within confined time and budget. As accuracy plays a vital role for software system. Prediction of effort estimation is one of the critical tasks required for developing software. In this paper we perform the performance study of fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm to make an intelligent application for the purpose of pr...

: 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...

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...

Existen dos fases principales en el uso de un modelo de estimación: (1) se debe determinar si el modelo es adecuado para describir los datos observados (reales), eso es, la comprobación de la adecuación del modelo o verificación del mismo; si éste resultara adecuado, entonces (2) el modelo de estimación se valida en su ambiente usando datos nuevos. Este artículo está relacionado con la primera ...
