When applying estimation methods, the issue of outliers is inevitable. The extent their influence has not been clarified, though several studies have evaluated outlier elimination methods. It unclear whether we should always be sensitive to outliers, removed before estimation, and what amount precaution required for collecting project data. Therefore, goal this study illustrate a guideline that...

Software effort and cost estimation has turned out to be the major challenge in IT industries. In this paper, different software effort and cost estimation techniques like algorithmic methods, expert judgment, analogy based estimation and soft computing methods and their various aspects are discussed. Software effort estimation is followed by cost assessment that is useful for both customers an...

Software cost and effort estimation is the most vulnerable issue in software development technology. Due continuous changing resources and customer involvements, software effort estimation has become more challenging issue in software management. To accurately estimate software cost and effort is difficult for both developers as well as customers. It has become very difficult to establish relat...

One of the most critical tasks during the software development life cycle is that of estimating the effort and time involved in the development of the software product. Estimation may be performed by many ways such as: Expert judgments, Algorithmic effort estimation, Machine learning and Analogy-based estimation. In which Analogy-based software effort estimation is the process of identifying on...
