Reducing the risk of software cost estimation
Inaccurate cost estimation is a well-known problem in software development. The common cost estimation models are point estimates that are unable to quantify uncertainties. Furthermore, it is difficult to calibrate the uncertainties in cost estimation due to the lack of information. The purpose of …

Comparative analysis between FPA and COCOMO techniques for software cost estimation
Software cost estimation is the process of predicting the effort required to develop a software system. The basic inputs for the software cost estimation are programs, size and set of cost drivers, while the output is effort in the form of person-month and cost. In this thesis, Function Point …

An Exploration of parametric software cost estimating models for Jackson Systems Development
Most parametric software cost estimation models used today evolved in the late 70's and early 80's. At that time, the dominant software development techniques being used were the early 'structured methods'. Since then, several new systems development paradigms and methods have emerged, one being …

An Alternative Method for Determining Adjusted Function Points as the Basis for Software Cost Estimating
<p>As software costs become an increasingly higher percentage of total computer system costs, it becomes increasingly more important for software development managers to have the ability to predict development costs with reasonable accuracy early in the software development cycle. Software …

Software development cost estimating models: an application of the hedonic pricing approach
Software development cost estimating models were analyzed using an application of the hedonic pricing approach. Several recently proposed software cost estimating tools were surveyed for the purpose of revealing their roots in the hedonic pricing approach. The analysis includes discussion of the …

Characterizing software components using evolutionary testing and path-guided analysis
… have been applied successfully to many areas of software engineering, such as error/fault identification, data mining, and software cost estimation. Previous research has also applied ET techniques to performance testing. Its application to performance testing, however, only goes as far as …

Improving modified cocomo ii artificial neural network using hyperbolic tangent activation function
Software cost estimation is a complex and critical issue in software industry but it is an inevitable activity in the software development process. It is one of important factors for projects failure due to the ambiguity and uncertainty of software attributes at the early stages of software …

Analysis of costs and delivery intervals for multiple-release software
Project managers of large software projects, and particularly those associated with Internet Business-to-Business (B2B) or Business-to-Customer (B2C) applications, are under pressure to capture market share by delivering reliable software with cost and timing constraints. An earlier delivery time …

An Examination Of The Variation In Information Systems Project Cost Estimates: The Case Of Year 2000 Compliance Projects
… to explore the relationship between estimated costs of software projects and five cost influence dimensions described by the Year 2000 Enterprise Cost Model (Kappelman, et al., 1998) -- organization, problem, solution, resources, and stage of completion. This research was a field study survey …

Using software as a service to support the academic activities of students in higher education institutions with a relative lack of resources
The contribution of Software as a Service (SaaS) towards improved access to software, cost reduction, better quality of learning and enhanced communication and collaboration in higher education institutions (HEIs) cannot be over emphasised. Some HEIs are faced with issues such as tight budget, lack …

Testing Software Development Project Productivity Model
<p>Software development is an increasingly influential factor in today’s business environment, and a major issue affecting software development is how an organization estimates projects. If the organization underestimates cost, schedule, and quality requirements, the end results will not meet …
