Programmer and Analyst Time/Cost Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ability to estimate the personnel time and costs required for the completion of programming and systems projects is an important managerial tool for the information systems department. This article presents a survey of the estimation techniques found in the literature by describing each technique and discussing its strengths and weaknesses. Some empirical evidence on how the various program and programmer/ analyst characteristics affect project time and cost are also reported.

Parametric Software Cost Estimation for the Solitary Programmer
Software cost estimation is known to be a challenging task at best, and these challenges are increased for programmers operating outside the support of an established team programming environment. While many software cost estimation models exist with varying levels of support, the nature of metrics collected for these models is seldom applicable to the solitary programmer. In addition, the work...
متن کاملA three- stage algorithm for software cost and time estimation in fuzzy environment
In this paper an efficient three- stage algorithm is developed for software production cost and time estimation. First stage includes a hybrid model composed of COCOMO and Function Points methods to increase estimation accuracy. Second stage encompasses paired comparisons matrix of analytical hierarchy process to determine amount of any resources consumed in each step of software production by ...
متن کاملSome Limits to Software Estimation
Algorithmic (KCS) complexity results can be interpreted as indicating some limits to software estimation. While these limits are abstract they nevertheless contradict enthusiastic claims occasionally made by commercial software estimation advocates. Specifically, if it is accepted that algorithmic complexity is an appropriate definition of the complexity of a programming project, then claims of...

A successful software should be finalized with determined and predetermined cost and time. Software is a production which its approximate cost is expert workforce and professionals. The most important and approximate software cost estimation (SCE) is related to the trained workforce. Creative nature of software projects and its abstract nature make extremely cost and time of projects difficult ...
