An approach for software cost estimation

Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Computer Systems and Technologies and Workshop for PhD Students in Computing on International Conference on Computer Systems and Technologies, 2010
Considerable studies are now directed at developing and using software cost estimation methods and tools. This paper underlines the specificity of the software estimation process and the fact that no one method is the best for all type projects. The paper claims that objective cost estimation is needed to ensure that the cost estimation is reliable and

A methodology for software cost estimation

ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 1993
Software Cost Estimation is an empirical process to be applied to find out basically the effort and development time requirements for the software product which is going to be developed. The process starts with the planning phase activities and refined throughout the development.

Estimating the development cost of custom software

Information & Management, 2003
In this paper an approach for the estimation of software development costs is presented. The method is based on the characterization of the software to be developed in terms of project and environment attributes and comparison with some similar completed project(s) recovered from a historical database.
