Survey of Software Development Effort Estimation Techniques
Proceedings of the 2018 7th International Conference on Software and Computer Applications, 2018Software development effort estimation is one of the most crucial activities in software engineering. Effort estimation permits managers and software engineers to anticipate, forecast, and precisely quote the schedule, budget and manpower requirements. By accurately estimating the effort; software projects can be saved from under run or over run.

Estimating software development effort with connectionist models
Information and Software Technology, 1997Abstract Accurate software development effort estimation is important for effective project management. Research studies indicate that effort estimation is a complex issue and results have in general not been encouraging. Artificial Neural Networks are recognised for their ability to provide good results when dealing with problems where there are ...

Estimating Development Effort for Software Architectural Tactics
2016The increased awareness of the quality requirements as a key to software project and product success makes explicit the need to include them in any software project effort estimation activity. However, the existing approaches to defining size-based effort relationships still pay insufficient attention to this need. Furthermore, existing functional size

Estimating software development effort using Bayesian networks
2015 23rd International Conference on Software, Telecommunications and Computer Networks (SoftCOM), 2015Software development effort estimation is fundamental part of software project management. It is the process used to predict the most probable effort required to perform specific work. Based on forecasted effort it is possible to determine costs and allocate required resources. The effort estimation inherently includes various factors and therefore the

Effort estimation in agile software development
Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering, 2015Context: There are numerous studies on effort estimation in Agile Software Development (ASD) and the state of the art in this area has been recently documented in a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). However, to date there are no studies on the state of the practice in this area, focusing on similar issues to those investigated in the above-mentioned ...

Effort estimation by characterizing developer activity
Proceedings of the 2006 international workshop on Economics driven software engineering research, 2006During the latest years libre (free, open source) software has gained a lot of attention from the industry. Following this interest, the research community is also studying it. For instance, many teams are performing quantitative analysis on the large quantity of data which is publicly available from the development repositories maintained by libre ...

Identification of Inaccurate Effort Estimates in Agile Software Development
2013 20th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC), 2013Like in every process model, agile processes (e.g. Scrum, eXtreme Programming) depend on accurate estimations to enable meaningful prioritization, iteration- and release planning. The emphasis of this paper is on "Planning Poker", a widely used estimation technique in agile context.

The Impact of Irrelevant Information on Estimates of Software Development Effort
2007 Australian Software Engineering Conference (ASWEC'07), 2007Software professionals typically estimate software development effort based on a requirement specification. Parts of this specification frequently contain information that is irrelevant to the estimation of the actual effort involved in the development of software.

A hybrid methodology for effort estimation in Agile development
Proceedings of the 2018 International Conference on Software and System Process, 2018In agile software development, functionality is added to the system in an incremental and iterative manner. Practitioners often rely on expert-judgment to estimate effort in this context. The impact of a change on the existing system can provide objective information to practitioners to arrive at an informed estimate.

Using Tabu Search to Estimate Software Development Effort
2009The use of optimization techniques has been recently proposed to build models for software development effort estimation. In particular, some studies have been carried out using search-based techniques, such as genetic programming, and the results reported seem to be promising.
