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 ...

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.

Data Smoothing for Software Effort Estimation
2019 20th IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing (SNPD), 2019The goal of this paper is to improve the estimation performance of software development effort by mitigating the problem caused by outliers in a historical software project data set, which is used to construct an effort estimation model. To date, outlier removal methods have been proposed to solve this problem; however, they are not always effective ...

Group Processes in Software Effort Estimation
Empirical Software Engineering, 2004The effort required to complete software projects is often estimated, completely or partially, using the judgment of experts, whose assessment may be biased. In general, such bias as there is seems to be towards estimates that are overly optimistic. The degree of bias varies from expert to expert, and seems to depend on both conscious and unconscious ...

Predictability Classification for Software Effort Estimation
2018 IEEE International Conference on Big Data, Cloud Computing, Data Science & Engineering (BCD), 2018In this paper, focusing on the problem that estimation accuracy of software development effort greatly varies among software projects, we propose a predictability classification method for software projects before conducting effort estimation. In the proposed method, given a project to be estimated, we first evaluate whether the effort can be ...

Effort estimation in incremental software development
IEE Proceedings - Software, 2003Incremental software development offers many benefits compared with more traditional development approaches. Indeed, incremental approaches have been utilised for many years due to the involvement of users, the early demonstration of capability and the potential for risk reduction that they offer.

Software project effort estimation with voting rules
Decision Support Systems, 2009Social choice deals with aggregating the preferences of a number of voters into a collective preference. We will use this idea for software project effort estimation, substituting the voters by project attributes. Therefore, instead of supplying numeric values for various project attributes that are then used in regression or similar methods, a new ...

Simple empirical software effort estimation model
Proceedings of the 8th ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement, 2014Context: An effort estimation model with more than 20 parameters is not very useful at early conceptual phase if you don't have a logical approach for specifying the input values.Goal: This paper presents a simple approach for predicting software development effort.Method: The regression model uses product size and application types to predict effort ...

Modeling expert effort estimation of software projects
2014 22nd International Conference on Software, Telecommunications and Computer Networks (SoftCOM), 2014Effort estimation is important part of software project management. Based on applied strategy these models can be classified into groups of algorithmic and non-algorithmic models. In this study we present the model for expert effort estimation developed using data mining techniques - a multilayer perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network. The data set
