Use case analysis has been widely adopted in modern software engineering due to its strength in capturing the functional requirements of a system. It is often done with a UML use case model that formalizes the interactions between actors and a system in the requirements elicitation iteration, and with architectural alternatives explored and user interface details specified in the following analysis...
Software cost estimates become more accurate as more information becomes available, but are needed early for business case analyses, bids, and resource management. Use Case Points satisfy the ability to make software size estimates early in the lifecycle because they only require understanding how an actor will use the system. Though Use Case Points are easy to calculate, they might over-simplify...
Software effort, schedule, and cost estimation has the highest utility at the time of inception. Since software size is one of the most important determinant of software effort (and, hence, cost), it is extremely beneficial to estimate size early. This early estimation of size is likely to result in better planning for projects dealing with the development of software games. Yet, despite its utility,...
Predicting how much effort will be required to complete a software project as early as possible is a very important factor in the success of software development projects. Including function points and its variants, there are several size measures and corresponding measurement methods that can be used for effort estimation. However, in most of the projects, there is limited amount of information available...
Accurate software effort estimation has been a challenge for many software practitioners and project managers. Underestimation leads to disruption in the project's estimated cost and delivery. On the other hand, overestimation causes outbidding and financial losses in business. Many software estimation models exist; however, none have been proven to be the best in all situations. In this paper, a...
This paper investigates the applicability of Use Case Point estimation model to global software project development. Nowadays, there is growing trend among leading software companies to outsource their project geographically, in countries with lower labor rate. This new trend increases competitiveness in the software market, which in turn shortens the development lifecycle time. This leads to several...
Based on research on currently prevalent WEB application project attributes and analysis on the influence factors on development effort of the project, an estimation methodology based on page is present, in which, when the user WEB pages DEMO developed after requirements development, project effort can be estimated by evaluating pages' complexity and corresponding team productivity which can be obtained...
This paper investigates the interrelationship among various measured characteristics of a software project, ranging from project model, size, and metrics used to govern the administration of the project. By analyzing various dimensions of project characteristics based on the underlying model, metrics and project technicality such as language and development paradigm, our findings reveal that certain...
