“…More recently, several authors have applied search based optimization techniques to software project planning [4,5,7,12] and cost estimation [2,11,15,16,25]. However, the present paper is the first to provide a formal characterization of models of Brooks' law and to use these to investigate the impact of these models on optimal completion times for real world software maintenance projects.…”

“…Recently other authors have considered the software effort prediction problem, using a variety of techniques including Case Based Reasoning [25,30,31], Neural Networks [32] and Search-Based Software Engineering [15,25]. A recent survey of work on Software Engineering Economics can be found in a paper by Shepperd [29].…”

“…The paper formalises these relationships as equations. Previous work on software engineering estimation has focused on fitting equations to existing data to attempt to capture the relationship between effort and completion time [2,8,11,15,16,25,30]. This paper uses search-based optimization techniqueswhich have recently been applied to software project estimation and planning [4,5,7,12] -to explore the impact of different formulations of Brooks' law upon optimal project allocations, and optimise project attributes such as completion time.…”

“…Source Line of Code (SLOC) is a traditional size measure that counts the number of lines in a software product's source code [9], [10]. However, counting SLOC is only possible after the implementation phase when source code is available, which makes SLOC not applicable for estimation in early phase of the development cycle [4] [11].…”

Abstract-One of the major obstacles to enterprise adoption of cloud technologies has been the lack of visibility into migration effort and cost. In this paper, we present a methodology, called Cloud Migration Point (CMP), for estimating the size of cloud migration projects, by recasting a well-known software size estimation model called Function Point (FP) into the context of cloud migration. We empirically evaluate our CMP model by performing a cross-validation on six different smallscale cloud migration projects and show that our size estimation model can be used as a reliable predictor for effort estimation. Furthermore, we prove that our CMP model satisfies the fundamental properties of a software size measure.

Abstract:Some studies have been recently carried out to investigate the use of search-based techniques in estimating software development effort and the results reported seem to be promising. Tabu Search is a meta-heuristic approach successfully used to address several optimization problems. In this paper, we report on an empirical analysis carried out exploiting Tabu Search on two publicly available datasets, i.e., Desharnais and NASA. On these datasets, the exploited Tabu Search settings provided estimates comparable with those achieved with some widely used estimation techniques, thus suggesting for further investigations on this topic.
