Repository based software cost estimation

, 1997
One important problem with software development projects is to get an early and nevertheless accurate estimation of the software development costs. In the literature various methods have been developed for this purpose. The most popular examples are Boehm's COCOMO, Albrecht's function-Point method or Sneed's object-point method.

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

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.

Communication of software cost estimates

Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering, 2014
The meaning of an effort or cost estimate should be understood and communicated consistently and clearly to avoid planning and budgeting mistakes. Results from two studies, one of 42 software companies and one of 423 individual software developers, suggest that this is far from being the case.

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.

Software cost estimation models

Proceedings of the 5th Jerusalem Conference on Information Technology, 1990. 'Next Decade in Information Technology', 2002
The importance of accurate cost estimates is discussed, and an overview of the existing methods for cost estimation is given. One class of models, namely, the parametric models, is then considered. The principles of parametric cost estimation models are examined, and an overview of such model is given.

Software management and cost estimating error

Journal of Systems and Software, 2000
Abstract Software cost estimating is an important concern for software managers and other software professionals. The hypothesized model in this research suggests that an organization's use of an estimate influences its estimating practices which influence both the basis of the estimating process and the accuracy of the estimate.
