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.

Software test effort estimation
ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 2008Software Testing is an important process of software development that is performed to support and enhance reliability and quality of the software. It consist of estimating testing effort, selecting suitable test team, designing test cases, executing the software with those test cases and examining the results produced by those executions.

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

Estimators Characteristics and Effort Estimation of Software Projects
Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Software Engineering and Applications, 2014Effort estimation is an important part of software project management. Accurate estimates ensure planned project execution and compliance with the set time and budget constraints. Despite attempts to produce accurate estimates by using formal models there is no substantial evidence that these methods guarantee better estimates than those experts make ...

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 2013
Background: Do we always need complex methods for software effort estimation (SEE)? Aim: To characterize the essential content of SEE data, i.e., the least number of features and instances required to capture the information within SEE data. If the essential content is very small, then 1) the contained information must be very brief and 2) the value ...

Estimating the design effort of Web applications
Proceedings. 5th International Workshop on Enterprise Networking and Computing in Healthcare Industry (IEEE Cat. No.03EX717), 2004We focus on the effort needed for designing Web applications. The effort required for the design phase is an important part of the total development effort of a Web application, whose implementation can be (partially) automated by tools. We carried out an empirical study with the students of an advanced university class that used W2000, as the special ...

Effort estimation for corrective software maintenance
Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering - SEKE '02, 2002This paper reports on an empirical study aiming at constructing cost estimation models for corrective maintenance projects. Data available were collected from five maintenance projects currently carried out by a large software enterprise. The resulting models, constructed using multivariate linear regression techniques, allow to estimate the costs of a

Software Effort Estimation and Productivity
1985Publisher Summary This chapter is concerned about effort and cost estimation models which are appropriate for software project development. Project development is meant to include life cycle phases from project design, through system integration, to testing and software delivery.

The size and effort estimates in iterative development
Information and Software Technology, 2008The quick delivery of a functionally truncated product is one of the most common results in iterative development, and has become the predominant development approach. One of its drawbacks is the appearance of incomplete artifacts between iterations. Consequently, well-known size-estimation methods can not be used in iterative development.
