Data Smoothing for Software Effort Estimation

open access: yes2019 20th IEEE/ACIS International Conference on Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Networking and Parallel/Distributed Computing (SNPD), 2019
The 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 ...

Software test effort estimation

ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 2008
Software 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, 2002
This 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

Estimators Characteristics and Effort Estimation of Software Projects

Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Software Engineering and Applications, 2014
Effort 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 ...

Group Processes in Software Effort Estimation

Empirical Software Engineering, 2004
The 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), 2018
In 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 ...

Software Effort Estimation and Productivity

1985
Publisher 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.
