In most software cost estimation models, software size is the key cost driver. Such models use either a technical measure of software size, based on lines of code, or alternatively a functional size measure which can be known earlier in the software life cycle. However, even though Function Points is the most widely used functional size measure in the MIS domain, practitioners have often pointe...

Huge amount of ground work is needed to choose a right framework in an environment where the frequency of changes in the application is more. Combination of hybrid and modular driven framework, named as converge driven approach is proposed to verify the functional specification of the application under test and also the performance and regression testing to ensure that the framework able to han...
