Effort estimation for program comprehension
WPC '96. 4th Workshop on Program Comprehension, 2002The study presents an experience of deriving an econometric model for software comprehension; this process is necessary for the renovation of existing software systems. The model uses data on the process and products. The aim of the econometric model is to minimize the risks when forecasting the budget and time needed to carry out the project.

Transfer learning in effort estimation
Empirical Software Engineering, 2014When projects lack sufficient local data to make predictions, they try to transfer information from other projects. How can we best support this process? In the field of software engineering, transfer learning has been shown to be effective for defect prediction.

As in more traditional development processes also in agile and iterative methodologies, estimation of development effort without imposing overhead on the project and the development team is of paramount importance. This analysis proposes a new effort estimation model aimed at iterative development environments, which are not suitable for description by

A project effort estimation study
Information and Software Technology, 1998This paper outlines a four step effort estimation study and focuses on the first and second step. The four steps are formulated to successively introduce a more formal effort experience base. The objective of the study is to evaluate the needed formalism to improve effort estimation and to study different approaches to record and reuse experiences from

Software effort models and effort estimates help project managers allocate resources, control costs, and schedule and improve current practices, leading to projects that are finished on time and within budget. In the context of Web development and maintenance, these issues are also crucial, and very challenging, given that Web projects have short ...

Using Ensembles for Web Effort Estimation
2013 ACM / IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement, 2013Background: Despite the number of Web effort estimation techniques investigated, there is no consensus as to which technique produces the most accurate estimates, an issue shared by effort estimation in the general software estimation domain. A previous study in this domain has shown that using ensembles of estimation techniques can be used to address ...

Introduction to Effort Estimation
2014Good effort estimates are essential to help project managers allocate resources and control costs and schedule, which in turn enables projects to be finished on time and within budget. This chapter introduces the concepts related to effort estimation and also details the most common avenues that have been pursued by researchers who have investigated ...

Effort Estimation Using Social Choice
2008In this chapter, we argue for adopting mechanisms from the field of social choice for effort estimation. Social choice deals with aggregating the preferences of a number of individuals into a single ranking. We will use this idea, substituting these voters by different project attributes.

Issues in calibrating effort estimation models
ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 1999This paper discusses some important issues when calibrating, or developing effort estimation models for software projects. The author has developed and calibrated several effort estimation models within Nokia Corporation. The paper takes use of the experience gained in those situations.
