Organizations have a variety of options to help their software developers become their most
productive selves, from modifying office layouts, to investing in better tools, to cleaning up …

This paper summarizes several classes of software cost estimation models and techniques:
parametric models, expertise‐based techniques, learning‐oriented techniques, dynamics …

The construction of software cost estimation models remains an active topic of research. The
basic premise of cost modeling is that a historical database of software project cost data can …

Global Software Development (GSD) projects comprise several critical cost drivers that affect
the overall project cost and budget overhead. Thus, there is a need to amplify the existing …

Conventional approaches to software cost estimation have focused on algorithmic cost
models, where an estimate of effort is calculated from one or more numerical inputs via a …

In the area of software cost estimation, various methods have been proposed to predict the
effort or the productivity of a software project. Although most of the proposed methods …

App reviews contain valuable feedback about what features should be fixed and improved.
This feedback could be'mined'to facilitate app maintenance and evolution. While …

The paper explores the possibility of generating a multi-organisational software cost
estimation model by analysing the software cost data collected by the International Software …

Effective Software cost estimation is one of the most challenging and important activities in
Software development. The software industry does not estimate projects well. In this paper …

Despite its importance, cost estimation in the context of continuing software evolution has
been relatively unexplored. This paper addresses this omission by describing some models …
