Estimation-of-Software-Development-Effort
A framework using GNN to predict software development effort.
The computer software industry is perhaps one of the fastest growing industries in the world today. With the increasing cost of software development, it is apparent that effective techniques for estimating software costs are essential in order to control the costs and make software more competitive. Because of the highly dynamic nature of the Software development, it becomes more and more difficult to get a correct software effort estimation. A number of algorithmic techniques have been developed and used for software cost estimation. However, calculations from several of such techniques indicate that estimates of development effort and cost differ considerably and hence may pose problems to software managers in committing resources and controlling costs. Software cost estimation is the process of predicting the effort required to develop a software system. Many estimation models have been proposed over the last 30 years. These estimation models are implemented in various frameworks for accurately predicting software effort..
