Software estimation has been identified as one of the three great challenges for half-century-old computer science. Developers should be able to achieve practices containing effort estimation based… (More)
Regression analysis to generate predictive equations for software development effort estimation has recently been complemented by analyses using less common methods such as fuzzy logic models. On the… (More)
An important factor for planning, budgeting and bidding a software project is prediction of the development effort required to complete it. This prediction can be obtained from models related to… (More)
The software project effort estimation is an important aspect of software engineering practices. The improvement in accuracy of estimations is a topic that still remains as one of the greatest… (More)
Software development effort prediction is considered in several international software processes as the Capability Maturity Model-Integrated (CMMi), by ISO-15504 as well as by ISO/IEC 12207. In this… (More)
Statistical regression and neural networks have frequently been used to estimate the development effort of both short and large software projects. In this paper, a genetic programming technique is… (More)
A qualitative common perception of the software industry is that it finishes its projects late and over budget, whereas from a quantitative point of view, only 39 % of software projects are finished… (More)
In this paper, a fuzzy logic model was created from a data set of 140 small programs developed with practices based on Personal Software Process (PSP) and then this fuzzy model was applied for… (More)
