Use case models are used in object-oriented analysis for capturing and describing the functional requirements of a system. Several methods for estimating software development effort are based on attributes of a use case model. This paper designed tool in c# language to estimate effort from XML for use case diagram based on fuzzy logic method in environment factor, and applying these tool on three project ,experimental results support existing claims that use cases can be used successfully in estimating software development effort. The results indicate that the guidance provided by the use case points method can support expert knowledge in the estimation process. ,experimental results show also that the design of the use case models has a strong impact on the estimates

“…Algunas de las fortalezas de este método son: (1) que puede ser utilizado en una fase temprana para estimar el esfuerzo, y es medido en base a un modelo de casos de uso que define el alcance funcional del sistema de software a ser desarrollado (Kusumoto, Matukawa, Inoue, Hanabusa & Maegawa, 2005), (2) es versátil y extensible a una variedad de proyectos de desarrollo y de pruebas, fácil de aprender y rápido para aplicar (Clemmons, 2006), (3) es conocido y ampliamente aceptado ya que utiliza dos prácticas comunes en la industria: el paradigma orientado a objetos y casos de uso para describir los requisitos de funcionalidad (Wang, Yang, Zhu & Chen, 2009). Sin embargo, también presenta algunas debilidades que están asociadas a los factores que afectan la precisión de la estimación del método de Puntos de Caso de Uso las cuales se muestran a continuación: (1) la primera versión del método de Puntos de Caso de Uso carece de validación y examinación sobre su fiabilidad para las organizaciones de software (Azzeh & Nassif, 2016), (2) incertidumbre asociada a los factores de costo y clasificación abrupta de los casos de uso (Wang, Yang, Zhu & Chen, 2009), (3) necesidad de calibración respecto a los niveles de complejidad de casos de usos y clasificación de actores (Nassif, Capretz & Ho, 2010), (4) carencia de información acerca del conteo del número de actores y de casos de uso y desfase de los factores técnicos y ambientales (Singh & Sahoo, 2012) y (5) discusión al asumir que la relación entre el esfuerzo del software y el tamaño sea lineal (Satapathy & Rath, 2014). Como resultado de las debilidades del método de Puntos de Caso de Uso existen varios factores que afectan la precisión en la estimación de este método.…”

Resumen: El éxito de un proyecto de desarrollo de software depende de que el producto obtenido cumpla con las especificaciones del usuario y se termine dentro del plazo y con el presupuesto establecido. Muchos proyectos de software presentan el problema de no estar siendo desarrollados dentro del plazo planificado debido a una mala valoración del esfuerzo o duración del proyecto de software. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo determinar los factores que afectan la precisión de la estimación del esfuerzo en proyectos de software, usando Puntos de Caso de Uso como método de estimación. Un total de 37 estudios primarios fueron seleccionados. Los resultados muestran que los factores ambientales, la complejidad de los casos de uso, la falta de estandarización de los casos de uso, factores técnicos y contabilización de las transacciones son algunos de los factores que afectan la precisión del método de Puntos de Caso de Uso.Palabras-clave: Proyecto de Desarrollo de Software; Puntos de Caso de Uso; Estimación de esfuerzo. Factors Affecting the Accuracy of Effort Estimation in Software Projects Using Use Case PointsAbstract: The success of a software development project depends on that the retrieved product complies with the user's specifications and to be completed within the time and within the budget established. Many software projects show the problem about that they are not being developed within the time set due to a bad assessment of the effort or duration of the software project. This research has the objective of determining the factors that affect the accuracy of the effort estimation in software projects using the Use Case Points as estimation method. A total of 37 primarily studies were selected. The results show that the environmental factors, the use cases complexity, the lack of use case standardization, technical factors and counting transactions are some of the factors that affect the accuracy of the Use Case Points method.

“…Wang et al [11] proposed extended use case point approach by integrating fuzzy set theory and BBNS (Bayesian Belief Networks) for software cost estimation to address the issue of use case point method. At the end authors compared the UCP& EUCP methods and analyzed the proposed work with the help of two case studies.…”

Software effort estimation is primary requisite in software development life cycle. Most of the software projects failed due to inaccurate effort estimation. So, to overcome this shortcoming many techniques were introduced in past by various researchers. There are many techniques exists for estimating the software project effort such as learning oriented, model based and expert based techniques. This paper represents review on various techniques used for effort estimation but main focus is on the tools and frameworks developed for efforts estimation which based on Use Case Point (UCP) model. These tools come up with extra features such as consider more factors that may affect project delivery and ability to give better estimate than existing one.
