Effort estimation is the important task in project planning phase in software industry. The process is complex as the complexity and size of software to be built. In the conventional software, there are many classical techniques have been used for effort estimation purpose. These techniques are not suitable to be applied on Webapp development because of the difficulty of sizing software in Webapp and the huge amount of data. In this work we proposed an algorithm for estimating the effort of Webapp software using COSMIC function point combined with the conceptual model of the software which is data based driven from Webapp. The method focuses on the extensive of data movement in the software which may be elicited from the conceptual model. For this purpose 19 Webapps with their conceptual models are used for effort estimation. Effort estimation model was built using cubic regression model and accuracy indicators such as MRE, MMRE, MdMRE, and Pred(0.25) were used to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method.

“…In fact, study [7] has highlighted that effort estimation employing COCOMO II, a widely used approach for traditional software systems, should be suitably adapted by reinterpreting various cost drivers in the context of model-driven engineering and taking into account the sizes of different artifacts. When model-driven approaches are used to develop Web applications, both the characteristics of the approaches and the specific characteristics of Web projects must be taken into account during several project management activities, such as resources allocation, costs and schedules planning and control, and productivity monitoring (see e.g., [8,9,10,11,12,13]). These management activities crucially depend on the availability of size measures that are suitable for this kind of Web applications.…”

Context. Model-driven development approaches facilitate the production of Web applications. Among them, the Object-Oriented Hypermedia method (OO-H) has been successfully used for the development of industrial Web applications. Similarly to other development approaches, it is important also in this context to put measures in place to support project managers in resource allocation, cost and schedule control, and productivity monitoring. Objective. This motivated us to define a measurement procedure, named OO-HCFP, specifically conceived for OO-H Web applications based on COSMIC , a second-generation functional size measurement method. Method. We present mapping and measurement rules devised to automatically derive size measures from OO-H models. We also carry out an empirical study to evaluate whether our proposed measurement procedure, OO-HCFP, is useful for estimating the effort needed to realise industrial Web applications developed with OO-H. Results. The estimates obtained by using OO-HCFP are more accurate than those obtained by using other measurement approaches based on Function * .
