  Software cost estimation, benchmarking, and risk assessment: the software decision-makers’ guide to predictable software development
Trendowicz A., Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, New York, NY, 2013. 348 pp.  Type: Book (978-3-642307-63-8)

The scope of the book is the cost estimation, benchmarking, and risk assessment (CoBRA) method, launched in 1998. The core idea of the method is to enhance the estimates provided by traditional complexity-size-based metrics by applying...

  An empirical evaluation of outlier deletion methods for analogy-based cost estimation
Tsunoda M., Kakimoto T., Monden A., Matsumoto K.  Promise 2011 (Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Predictive Models in Software Engineering, Banff, AB, Canada, Sep 20-21, 2011) 1-10, 2011.  Type: Proceedings

This paper presents a helpful and concise survey of the current techniques used to make a set of software engineering estimation data reasonably consistent. The authors show how to eliminate data that just doesn’t fit within ...

  Understanding cost drivers of software evolution: a quantitative and qualitative investigation of change effort in two evolving software systems
Benestad H., Anda B., Arisholm E. Empirical Software Engineering 15(2): 166-203, 2010.  Type: Article

This paper discusses the answer to the following question: “From the perspective of developers handling incoming change requests during software evolution, which factors affect the effort required to complete the change tasks...

  Estimating software-intensive systems: projects, products, and processes (SEI Series in Software Engineering)
Stutzke R., Addison-Wesley Professional, Boston, MA, 2005. 944 pp.  Type: Book (9780201703122)

Stutzke succeeds in transforming his very rich experience with software estimation and different theoretical approaches into a true reference for everyone who has to deal with large software systems in contracting, planning, managing, ...

  Evidence-based guidelines for assessment of software development cost uncertainty
Jorgensen M. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 31(11): 942-954, 2005.  Type: Article

A significant research effort is being put forth to define software development cost methods and models that are as accurate as possible. Paradoxically, a parallel research line focuses on uncertainty assessments of software developmen...

  Estimating software based on use case points
Carroll E.  Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications (Companion to the 20th Annual ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Object-oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications, San Diego, CA, USA, Oct 16-20, 2005) 257-265, 2005.  Type: Proceedings, Reviews: (2 of 2)

Accurate estimation is hard to do. This work is a short study of software estimation and analysis, reporting impressive results—a less than nine percent deviation from actual results for 200 projects over five years....

  Estimating software based on use case points
Carroll E.  Object-oriented programming, systems, languages, and applications (Companion to the 20th Annual ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Object-oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications, San Diego, CA, USA, Oct 16-20, 2005) 257-265, 2005.  Type: Proceedings, Reviews: (1 of 2)

There are two parts to this paper: an example estimating the total man-hours to complete a software development project, and an explanation of using a causal analysis process to drive improvements in the estimating model and the proces...

  Reasons for Software Effort Estimation Error: Impact of Respondent Role, Information Collection Approach, and Data Analysis Method
Jorgensen M., Molokken-Ostvold K. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering 30(12): 993-1007, 2004.  Type: Article

The problems associated with software project estimation are addressed in this paper in a very original way. Apart from analyzing the major reasons for the inaccuracy of estimations, it addresses the process that a software company sho...

  Use case estimation - the devil is in the detail
Vinsen K., Jamieson D., Callender G.  Requirements engineering (Proceedings of the 12th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE’04),Sep 6-Sep 10, 2004) 10-15, 2004.  Type: Proceedings

The authors argue that basing cost estimates for complex information system development projects solely upon use case formulations of the requirements is a prescription for disaster, and claim to offer a solution....

  Service portfolio measurement: a framework for evaluating the financial consequences of out-tasking decisions
vom Brocke J., Lindner M.  Service oriented computing (Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Service Oriented Computing, New York, NY, USA, Nov 15-19, 2004) 203-211, 2004.  Type: Proceedings

Over the past few years, we have seen the continuous growth of a number of distinct trends in the software development world. Some of these trends include the increased use of outsourcing, the development of service-oriented architectu...
