Software engineering predictive modeling involves construction of models, with the help of
software metrics, for estimating quality attributes. Recently, the use of search-based …

Analogy-based effort estimation is the major task of software engineering which estimates
the effort required for new software projects using existing histories for corresponding …

Abstract Development effort is one of the most important metrics that must be estimated in
order to design the plan of a project. The uncertainty and complexity of software projects …

Analogy-Based Estimation (ABE) is one of the promising estimation models used for
predicting the software development effort. Researchers proposed different variants of the …

The estimation of software development effort has been centralized mostly on the accuracy
of estimates through dealing with heterogeneous datasets regardless of the fact that the …

Abstract During the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) process, software effort
estimation models need to determine the effort required to build a project so that resources …

Context Over the past few years, researchers have been actively searching for an effective
classifier which correctly predicts change prone classes. Though, few researchers have …

In this work we present an evolutionary morphological approach to solve the software
development cost estimation (SDCE) problem. The proposed approach consists of a hybrid …

Precise cost estimation of software projects is an important topic for software companies.
Precise estimation of required efforts, delivery time and project cost are considered as a …

Accurate estimating software development effort is essential in effective project management
processes such as budgeting, project planning and control. To achieve an accurate estimate …
