Abstract:Abstract-Accurate effort estimation of software development projects plays a key role in project success. However, it is still a challenge activity to researchers and practitioners because of the nature of software products and dynamics in software industry and development environment. Artificial neural network (ANN) is as an effective method and has been widely used in various areas of software engineering. This paper proposes a new effort estimation method based on clustering and ANN ensembles. The contribut… Show more
