Early and accurate estimation of software size plays an important role in facilitating effort and cost estimation of software systems. One of the commonly used methodologies for software size estimation is Function Point Analysis (FPA). The purpose of Software size estimation and effort estimation techniques is to provide a useful measure of the software complexities, efforts, and costs involve...

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 ...

Estimating the project effort remains a challenge for managers and estimators. In early phases of project, having high level uncertainty lack experience cause poor estimation required work. Especially projects that produce highly customized unique product each customer, it is challenging to make estimations. Project has been studied mainly software in literature. Currently, there no study on es...

The Software Effort Estimation (SEE) tool calculates an estimate of the amount work that will be necessary to effectively finish project. Managers usually want know how hard a new project ahead time so they can divide their limited resources in fair way. In fact, it is common use effort datasets train prediction model predict much take. To good estimator, you need enough data, but most data own...

Software development involves a number of interrelated factors which affect development effort and productivity. Since many of these relationships are not well understood, accurate estimation of so&are development time and effort is a dificult problem. Most estimation models in use or proposed in the literature are based on regression techniques. This paper examines the potential of two artijci...
