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.

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

On Learning Software Effort Estimation
2015 3rd International Symposium on Computational and Business Intelligence (ISCBI), 2015Software Effort is defined as the person months required to make a software application. Software effort estimation is usually the most important phase in the software development life cycle. Software effort estimation requires high accuracy at early phases, but accurate estimations are difficult to achieve.

Estimating software development effort using Bayesian networks
2015 23rd International Conference on Software, Telecommunications and Computer Networks (SoftCOM), 2015Software development effort estimation is fundamental part of software project management. It is the process used to predict the most probable effort required to perform specific work. Based on forecasted effort it is possible to determine costs and allocate required resources. The effort estimation inherently includes various factors and therefore the

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Debugging effort estimation using software metrics
IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 1990Measurements of 23 style characteristics, and the program metrics LOC, V(g), VARS, and PARS were collected from student Cobol programs by a program analyzer. These measurements, together with debugging time (syntax and logic) data, were analyzed using several statistical procedures of SAS (statistical analysis system), including linear, quadratic, and ...
