This paper presents a novel risk assessment model for software projects. Traditional software risk assessment models lack the capability of classifying risk events based on their (in)dependence and statistical (in)dependence. The proposed risk assessment model relies on a scheme to classify the risk events of the software project based on their (in)dependence to occur and statistical (in)dependence...
There is still an urgent need of finding a mathematical model which can provide an accurate relationship between the software project effort/cost and the cost drivers. A powerful algorithm which can optimize such a relationship via developing a mathematical relationship between model variables is urgently needed. In this paper, we explore the use of GP to develop a software cost estimation model utilizing...
With the development of software industry, software estimation and measurement is catching much more concern. Scale increasing in applications and a variety of programming languages using at the same time, manual measurement based on the LOC (line of code) cannot meet the estimating requirements. The emergence of function point resolves these difficult issues. In order to obtain the software effort,...
Software companies are currently investing large amounts of money in software process improvement initiatives in order to enhance their products' quality. These initiatives are based on software quality models, thus achieving products with guaranteed quality levels. In spite of the growing interest in the development of precise prediction models to estimate effort, cost, defects and other project's...
To estimate software effort according to software size, statistical analysis was held using the historical project data. The tool statistics method and the programming statistics method were adopted independently for linearity regression analysis. After the regression analysis, the linearity regression equation was obtained. The final studies showed that the outcomes obtained by these two methods...
An organizational level test strategy needs to incorporate metrics to make the testing activities visible and available to process improvements. The majority of testing measurements that are done are based on faults found in the test execution phase. In contrast, this paper investigates metrics to support software test planning and test design processes. We have assembled metrics in these two process...
