Do Base Functional Component Types Affect the Relationship between Software Functional Size and Effort?

چکیده
One of the most debated issues in Software Engineering is effort estimation and one of the main points is about which could be (and how many) the right data from an historical database to use in order to obtain reliable estimates. In many of these studies, software size (measured in either lines of code or functional size units) is the primary input. However, the relationship between effort and the components of functional size (BFC – Base Functional Components) has not yet been fully analyzed. This study explores whether effort estimation models based on BFCs types, rather than those based on a single total value, would improve estimation models. For this empirical study, the project data in the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG) Release 10 dataset, which were functionally sized by the COSMIC FFP method,

Do Different Functionality Types Affect the Relationship between Software Functional Size and Effort?
Effort estimation is a significant practical problem in software engineering, and various cost drivers, including software size, which might have an impact on it have been explored. In many of these studies, total software size (measured in either lines of code or functional size units) is the primary input. However, the relationship between effort and the components of functional size has not ...
متن کاملImpact of Base Functional Component Types on Software Functional Size Based Effort Estimation
Software effort estimation is still a significant challenge for software management. Although Functional Size Measurement (FSM) methods have been standardized and have become widely used by the software organizations, the relationship between functional size and development effort still needs further investigation. Most of the studies focus on the project cost drivers and consider total softwar...
متن کاملWhich COSMIC Base Functional Components are Significant in Estimating Web Application Development? - A Case Study
Estimation is still a challenging process for planning and managing software projects. Often, estimates are being done on experiential or analogous basis or using effort estimation models. Mostly, these approaches take software size (e.g., Lines of Code, Function Points, Object points) and other cost factors as the main inputs to estimation. This study focuses on functional size based effort es...

متن کاملRelationship between 13C NMR Parameters and Antimalarial activity of Cryptolepine Isosteres
Density functional theory calculations were applied to investigate 13C Chemical Shielding (CS) tensors in cryptolepine (1) and its sulfur (2) and oxygen (3) isosteres. The results showed that the CS of carbon nuclei in these compounds may be divided into three types. First, carbons type α,are those directly bonded to X (X= NH, S, O) and σ 33 shielding component of these carbons are deshield...
